Voter Support Stations on Election Day and Election-Eve Day
The League of Women Voters of Denver and Just Vote Colorado are joining forces to bring Voter Support Stations to two Denver Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs) this comin week — creating a welcoming, energetic atmosphere for voters as they cast their ballots in the final days of the election.
Volunteers will greet voters with live music, selfie opportunities, and a festive community atmosphere designed to make voting feel accessible, celebratory, and empowering. The stations are strategically located in the Barnum and Downtown Denver neighborhoods, communities the organizations have identified as priorities for voter outreach and engagement.
Here are the locations and schedule. You can sign up for a 2 hour shift using the button below.

Mariam, Lisa, and Pearlanne | Proposed Changes to 2030 Census Data Collection
The federal administration is proposing changes to the collection of census data for 2030. Please consider sending a comment opposing these changes on or before Monday, November 2.
Governments, researchers, nonprofits, businesses and others use census data to plan programs, identify disparities, make the case for resources, and decide where services and investments should go over the next decade. Key proposed changes include:
- Exclusion of some noncitizens from apportionment counts based on immigration status,
- Significantly alter how the Census determines where people live,
- Remove race and ethnicity questions, and
- Restrict the Census Bureau’s current ability to collect sexual orientation data in the future.
These proposed changes may not accurately count seasonal workers, foster youth, people experiencing homelessness, people with multiple residences, and others, which could then compromise Colorado’s $12.5 billion in federal funding over the next decade and lead to the loss of representation in Congress.
Based on LWV-Denver’s position to “support a governmental system that is open, representative, responsive, accountable, efficient, fair in its treatment of all citizens….,” we want to bring these concerns to your attention because census data collection under these proposed rules may undercount who lives in Denver. Please consider sending a comment opposing these proposed changes.

Co-Director of Program and Advocacy |  | 2027 Audit Plan
In 2023, LWVD invited Denver's current City Auditor, Timothy O'Brien, to discuss his office's role at our Kick-Off Briefing. As this position is term-limited, O'Brien's will be out of office in July 2027. A new Auditor will be elected in the April 2027 municipal election. The City Auditor serves as a financial and operational check and balance on Denver's "strong mayor" form of government. The Auditor operates completely independently of the Mayor's office and the City council, answering directly to the public. Mr. O'Brien recently released his 2027 Audit Plan. Several audits started under this plan will by necessity continue under his successor. You can read about the plan here.
