       Colorado Independent Voters, Jim Jonas
      • Representing more Coloradans than either the Republicans or Democrats, we're Colorado's largest and fastest-growing voter bloc (especially with younger voters).

        Yet independents don't have an equal voice in elections or the political process.
         

        Please help us make Colorado's elections serve voters, not the private, self-interested political parties.

      • What We're For

        Colorado Independent Voters can challenge the broken partisan duopoly and demand an equally meaningful voice in Colorado politics.

        Independent voters come from across the ideological spectrum but have the shared, fundamental belief that elections should benefit voters - not the political parties. We believe that granting Colorado independent voters more voice in the process and equal treatment in the legislature will bring greater participation and spur greater competition among candidates vying for support from all voters.

         

         

        • Ballot access reform so independent candidates can equitably qualify to compete for political office.
           
        • Equitable fundraising rules so Independent candidates can raise money like their partisan opponents.
           
        • Implement alternative voting methods - like Ranked Choice Voting or Approval voting - that would spur greater competition, better representation, eliminate "spoiled" voting and force candidates to talk to more voters.
           
        • Assure new nonpartisan redistricting reform is properly implemented so parties can't conspire to draw self-interested legislative districts.
           
        • Open the debates to more voices than just the Republicans and Democrats so legitimate 3rd party and independent candidates get a chance to speak to voters.
           
        • Require independents to be equally represented on state boards and commissions.
           
        • Demand independent election judges be equally represented.


          Our mission is to educate independent-minded Colorado citizens about their voting rights and to challenge the partisan duopoly when it tries to diminish those rights.

        We do not advocate for the election or defeat of any candidate or ballot measure but instead we educate Coloradans to learn as much as they can about the partisan duopoly in Colorado and to seek ways we can fix the broken election system.

        The Independent Voter Project

        The Independent Voter Project (IVP) launched in 2006 with a directive to identify and execute a strategy to reverse an increasingly polarized political system:

        • Establish broad public awareness about voters’ nonpartisan rights.
        • Create a climate for otherwise disenfranchised voters to engage in the political process.
        • Use innovative new technologies to share information.

        Vote at Home

        Vote at home is designed to empower voters by letting them decide when, how and where they vote. They don’t have to take time off work, drive to a polling place or stand in long lines. In a full vote-at-home system, all voters receive their ballots by mail automatically and choose how to cast their vote- by returning their ballot by mail, by bringing it to a secure drop-off location, or by voting in-person at a staffed vote center.
