“Let's move elections to even years and get more people participating in the process.”

State Representative for Boulder,
Judy Amabile

“By making this change to even-year elections we will make voting easier and more accessible for all members of our community. We need to move both our city council elections and our school board elections to even years.”

Vice President of BVSD Board of Education, Lisa Sweeney-Miran

“Voter ID laws, limited polling locations, and complicated registration rules are all strategies to keep people from voting. Off-year elections are another one of these strategies. Moving to even years is the democratic thing to do.”

Former Chair of the Boulder County Democratic Party, Raffi Mercuri

“NAACP Boulder County supports this impactful measure and the positive shift in power it represents. More people, more people power”.

-NAACP Boulder County

“The difference in voter turnout between even- and odd-year elections is stark… If we truly believe that democracy is a collective form of governance, then this — 30,000 unheard voices — should be enough to make ballot measure 2E a necessity.”

-The Boulder Daily Camera

“Our calculus for supporting this measure is quite simple: More people voting in local elections is a good thing, and the city should do everything in its power to make our democracy as robust and inclusive as possible.”
