So ballots go out 22 days before the election. That is next Monday, the 14th of October. You will see a lot of on that ballot regarding measures, initiatives, candidates, of course. Perhaps not enough viable choices for third-party or minor party candidates here in Colorado, or even just Jeffco by itself.
Like I have said, Proportional Representation will bring more parties to the table, ending what is called Duverger’s [Law] Effect.
If you want to be an informed voter, and be aware of all your choices, I would suggest looking at some of the voter guides and questionnaires that were in most cases distributed to all the candidates in Jeffco:
LEAGUE of WOMEN VOTERS: https://www.vote411.org/ (you must do an address specific search)
Arvadans for Progressive Action: https://arvadansforprogressiveaction.org/political-action-team/eric-bodenstab/
Arvada Chamber of Commerce: Voter Guide to be emailed shortly by the group.
and
Tomorrow of course is the Jefferson County Council on Aging Forum, which is an in-person event. I will see you there!
