This year is an “off year election,” meaning that you won’t be voting for president or others running for office at federal levels of government. What you will find on your ballot this year is officials running for local office – like the school board, people who are much more likely to have an impact on your day-to-day life. You will also be asked to consider several important ballot initiatives.

Your ballot for the upcoming General Election will be arriving in your mailbox in the coming weeks. Election day isn’t until Tuesday, November 7^th, but we are sharing information, so you have time to prepare to vote in this important election.

Get More Information:

Here’s where you can get the latest information about your voter eligibility and ballot drop off and polling locations. It’s not too late to register to vote or update your information if you’ve moved. 

Research What’s on the Ballot:

• You don’t have your ballot yet, but you can still prepare! This website will provide you a sample ballot for your address.   There will likely be candidates running for your local school board. These people can have a deep and lasting impact on the schools in your community and your child’s education, so make sure to do your research before you vote!
  • Visit their websites, check out their social media, and Google their name to see recent news coverage. 
  • Pull information from organizations you trust to see who they have endorsed. 
• There are also statewide ballot initiatives for you to consider this year. Stand has endorsed both Prop II and Prop HH.
• The Blue Book (you will receive a hard copy of this in the mail, too!) is a voter guide with easy-to-understand explanations of each ballot initiative compiled by nonpartisan staff of the Colorado Legislative Council.  

Vote By November 7:

Here’s where you can find locations to drop off your ballot. Just be sure you drop it off by November 7.

Eight Colorado parents and community members have sent over 34,000 text messages over the last few weeks in support of State Board of Education candidate Kathy Plomer. These volunteers are supporting Kathy because she is a problem solver, a public servant, and a mom. They know she will fight to ensure all our kids have access to high quality education, mental health resources, and equitable funding. 

We’ve been sharing information about how important it is to ensure we have the right people serving on the State Board of Education. Kathy wants to make Colorado public schools a place where parents want to send their kids, educators want to work, and students love to learn. 

I hope you will join me and our volunteers in voting for Kathy Plomer for At-Large representative on the State Board of Education. Your ballot needs to be dropped off by 7pm Tuesday, November 8 but no need to wait – you can drop it in a secure ballot drop box as soon as you are done voting.  You’ve got this! 

The temperatures have finally cooled down and leaves are changing – Fall is here. Another sign of Fall: your ballot for the upcoming General Election will be arriving in your mailbox in the next week. Election day isn’t until Tuesday, November 8^th, but I’m writing to share information, so when you’re ready to vote you can vote for education champions this year.

Stand will Support 2 candidates in upcoming primary elections

Stand for Children Colorado announced today the endorsement of two candidates for the Colorado House of Representatives in the upcoming primary election being held June 28, 2022.

Cole Burger, Democrat, House District 57

Mischa Smith, Democrat, House District 17

Candidates seeking Stand’s endorsement complete a questionnaire and are interviewed by a panel of parents and community members. The endorsement committee identified Cole and Mischa as education champions and voted to endorse them in the June 28, 2022 primary election.  

Stand and the parents, educators, and community members we work with will now engage to get out the vote in support of these candidates between now and election day. Candidates and measures being endorsed in the general election will be announced in the fall.
