Every Voice, Every Vote

LEAGUE PRINCIPLE:

The League of Women Voters believes in representative government and in the individual liberties established in the Constitution of the United States.

GOAL:

In the lead up to the 2026 Midterm Elections, League hopes to build voter confidence, share factual information about voter registration and voting, and support safe and accessible participation in the elections.

By providing voters with clear, factual information about where candidates stand, hosting nonpartisan candidate forums, and working to ensure every eligible voter can access the ballot, we empower voters to make informed choices based on their own values — not ours.

Our Response to the SAVE Act Suite of Bills 

We have consistently opposed the SAVE Act and the more recent documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) bills as unnecessary and meant to create another barrier to voting.  What LWV of Denver has done so far:

• The Call to Action has been on the slideshow on the main page of the website since February 2025
• Created slides for use at presentations
• Lisa Haddox, Voter Service Co-Chair wrote a March 2025 VOTER article about the SAVE Act
• Multiple social media posts in March and April 2025
• We sent a Letter to the Editor to the Denver Post that was published on March 15, 2025
• SAVE Act panel discussion organized by Clerk & Recorder: From Suffrage to the SAVE Act: How Election Policy Impacts Women's Right to Vote, June 10 - Jeanette Scotland, Director of Organization, spoke and we co-sponsored the event
• Call to Action from LWVUS to all members on 2/4/2026
• Call to Action from LWVDenver on 2/11/2026

League response to potential federal interference in our local elections
The power to run elections rests with Congress and the states, not the White House.
