> Voter Polling and Service Center
>  
> We are proud that The IC will serve as a Voter Polling and Service Center (VSPC) for the 2020 General Election, as we did in 2016. In addition to traditional voting booths, we will have an ADA accessible voting machine on site as well as a ballot drop box. Our building is fully accessible and will be open to the public for voting during the following dates and times:
>  
> Friday, October 30, 2020: 8am-5pm
> Saturday, October 31, 2020: 8am-5pm
> Monday, November 2, 2020: 7am-7pm
> Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2020: 7am-7pm (all voters in line by 7pm on Election Day will be allowed to vote) 
>  
> To keep poll workers, staff, and voters safe during the pandemic, we will be adhering to social distancing guidelines and mask requirements. Also, as a reminder, if you choose to vote in person, please note that political statements (clothing, buttons, etc.) are not permitted in VSPCs.

> Accessible Online Ballots Available
>  
> Recently, our friends at the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition sent out this information about accessible online ballots and we wanted to share it with you:
> 
> “Any registered voter in Colorado who has a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (blindness qualifies) will be able to retrieve a ballot using Colorado's online accessible ballot delivery system. This system enables you to mark the ballot online using your favorite web browser. After you have finished marking your ballot, you need to print both the ballot and the ballot application and sign the ballot application. The ballot and signed package are then mailed together to your county clerk or dropped off at an authorized drop box or polling facility. For this to work, you will need a computer, tablet, or smartphone, access to the Internet, and a printer that can be reached from the computer, tablet, or smartphone.”

> Overview of Ballot Measures and Voter Information

> If you’ve gotten the Colorado Blue Book, you know there are a lot of issues that we’re being asked to vote on this year. Deb Walker, our Director of Strategic Partnerships, put together a simplified, nonpartisan overview of the State and Colorado Springs measures. She also put together some additional voter information and resources that are relevant to this year’s election. You can find all of this by clicking the button below. Please share this webpage with anyone who might find this useful.
