democracy is not a spectator sport.
Campaign 2025 Has Begun!
Ballots for local elections — including City Council and School Board — will be arriving soon. Please vote and return your ballot as soon as possible!
These local races matter. The officials we elect this year will determine how federal budget cuts impact our cities, classrooms, and freedoms. Your vote helps ensure our community can stand strong and push back against harmful decisions made at higher levels of government.
Casting A Ballot
How Voting Works in Larimer County
In Larimer County, voting is easy and secure. Starting October 10, voters can drop off their mail ballots 24/7 at any official drop box through 7:00 PM on Election Day, November 4. Prefer to vote in person or need assistance? Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs) open October 27 and offer in-person voting, voter registration, ballot replacement, and ADA-accessible machines. Every eligible voter can choose the method that works best for them. Learn more at larimer.gov/elections.
Ballots must be returned to the County Clerk by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. A postmark on Election Day does not count unless the ballot is physically in the hands of the County Clerk by 7:00 p.m. There are several ways to return your ballot.

🗳️ We Need Precinct Organizers in Every Precinct to help GET OUT THE VOTE!
If you’re not sure what a Precinct Organizer (PO) does — or you’re just curious — we’d love to chat with you. Fill out our short PO Interest Form, and we’ll reach out to see if it’s a good fit.
👀 Not Sure Who Your PO Is?
If you haven’t heard from a Precinct Organizer in your area, it’s possible your precinct doesn’t have one yet — or that the PO is inactive for some reason.
If that’s the case, we need you!
Becoming a PO is one of the most meaningful ways to help us build strong neighborhood networks and gear up for the 2026 midterms. Fill out our short PO Interest Form, and we’ll reach out to see if it’s a good fit.
Current Precinct Organizers
UPDATE: Being a PO is no longer just about showing up to assembly. If you have not attended training or had a 1:1 and have been a PO for many years please connect with field to schedule a 1:1 and receive an update on current requirements for Precinct Organizers. Thank you so much for what you do!
