Election Season is Here!
Citizens Project Equips, Encourages Election Participation
Citizens Project has big plans for the coming months in our civic engagement work. We have published our Primary Election Voter Guide to help you cast your vote NOW. We sent candidate surveys to all candidates running in contested races.

In collaboration with the Pikes Peak Equality Coalition, we have set the audacious goal of reaching 20,000 underrepresented voters in our community through handwritten postcards, phonecalls, and door knocking. WE NEED YOUR HELP to achieve this impactful work.

Finally, you can count on Citizens Project to publish our comprehensive voter guide for the November ballot and host a candidate forum to give you an opportunity to meet the people who want your vote and to ask them questions!

Contact Deb to get involved!
June Primary Election Voter Guide
For the 2016 June Primary Election, Citizens Project invited all candidates running for office in contested races  to participate in our candidate survey. We will publish a comprehensive voter guide that includes all state and local races for the November 2016 General Election.
