Restore the Balance Colorado

06/18/2026

If Coloradans expect real choices when ordering ice cream, shouldn't we expect the same in our elections?

That's the question behind Democracy Is Delicious, a new statewide voter education campaign from our partners at Courageous Colorado. It explores what they call the "Colorado Democracy Paradox": we're a national leader in voter access and election administration, yet too many decisions are made before most voters ever get a meaningful say.

Watch the campaign's flagship video and learn more about how Colorado's primary system actually works:

This week's Monday Update is live — and it's about who's really trying to take your power.
Spoiler: it's not foreign governments or hacked machines. It's the people sowing doubt in our elections so you stop trusting the process altogether. This week we're breaking down why that mistrust matters, plus a behind-the-scenes look at Mesa County's election security — including a stat that surprised even us (90% of ballots come through drop boxes, not the mail).
Also inside: Clerk Bobbie Gross's Convos with the Clerk video series, how to become a poll worker, and everything coming up before June 30.
