The Colorado County Clerks Association supports clerks who serve communities across Colorado
Colorado’s election system is widely recognized as one of the best in the country. By working to balance access with security, our system serves as a national model that guarantees all eligible voters can seamlessly cast their ballots in all elections while also ensuring those ballots cast are counted accurately and then entire system remains secure. You can read more about how Colorado’s system works, track your own voter registration and ballot and learn from the experts – Colorado’s county clerks – more about how they protect and provide our right to a fair and free elections, our most sacred right as Americans.
Looking forward to seeing county clerks at the 2026 Summer Conference.

That is why one aspect of the President's approach remains difficult to reconcile. If election security is among our nation's highest priorities, it is fair to ask why the administration chose to eliminate or significantly reduce elements of the federal election security effort at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
The Colorado County Clerks Association opposes the proposed rule and respectfully urges the United States Postal Service to withdraw it for the reasons set forth below.
There is no escaping the significance of this moment. This is now Governor Polis’s legacy. He will not be able to run from it or redefine it later. When given the opportunity to stand firmly for the rule of law, for the integrity of Colorado’s elections, and for the public servants who defend them, he chose a different path.
Governor, please stand firmly with those who honored their oath, safeguarded our democratic institutions, and protected the rule of law. Doing so will send a powerful message that Colorado does not retreat when the truth is tested.
"Colorado’s model is proof that strong access and strong security can coexist. Voters can track their ballots online and know with certainty that their votes are counted. Independent audits after every election confirm the accuracy of our results, safeguards that states like Alabama simply do not have. In fact, the Washington Post has called Colorado the safest state in which to cast a ballot.”
