What you need to know about the upcoming November election
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8. There are local and statewide issues on the ballot that could impact you. That is why it is important you take some time to learn about why this election is critical, how to register to vote and more by visiting dsstvotes.org.
Colorado Public Radio recently published a non-partisan Colorado voter’s guide that provides information on the major ballot topics. Check out the voter guide below:
In addition, the Colorado State Board of Education has several candidates up for election, including a statewide at-large seat. The State Board has the power to overturn individual district decisions on charter schools, including when they overturned the DPS decision to deny the opening of DSST: Noel High School (now DSST: Elevate Northeast High School) in 2020.
