Voting on College Campuses
Colorado students have the right to vote in Colorado.
Campus Voter Service Centers and 24-hour drop boxes are open on campuses across the state. You can visit a Voter Service Center in your county to register, update your voter registration, vote in person, and solve any election-related issue—just don’t forget to bring ID! You can drop your ballot off at any drop box in the state. Wondering if your campus has a Voter Service Center or drop box, where it’s at, and when it’s open? We got you!
You can view all Voter Service Center and drop box locations at JustVoteColorado.org.
About the Voter Guides
In 2022, we released the Youth Agenda, a policy platform by young people for all people, to guide our work on campuses, at the Capitol, and at the ballot box. Guided by the vision laid out in the Youth Agenda, we sent out a survey to candidates to gauge where they stand on the issues that matter to young people: climate justice, reproductive rights, higher education and student debt, economic justice, democracy reform, health care and mental health, education, LGBTQ rights and gender expression, immigrant rights, and criminal justice. We also evaluated ballot measures and their potential impacts against the vision and values espoused by the Youth Agenda. Information about the measures on the 2022 ballot include a summary, supporters or opponents, and reasoning behind our stance.
Each voter guide includes information about how and when to vote in Colorado. If you still have questions, visit JustVoteColorado.org.
Use the online voter guides to help you make an informed vote to bring more Youth Agenda champions in office and push for policies that can create a more equitable and just Colorado!
Note: A mailed version of the statewide voter guide mistakenly labeled Proposition 121 as Proposition 213 in a subheader. We recommend voting NO on Proposition 121 and YES on Proposition 123.
