Coloradans in jail promised better voter access under bill approved by state Senate

(Colorado Newsline) The Colorado Senate passed a bill on Friday that would require county sheriffs to better work with county clerks to ensure eligible voters who are confined in jails can cast ballots.

Senate Bill 24-72 would require county sheriffs to designate someone who would be responsible for informing confined individuals of their eligibility to vote and coordinating with the county clerk to set up a temporary, in-person voting center at their local county jail.
