How did the elderly and/or persons with limited transportation options travel outside their home precincts in order to access Vote Centers?
Accessibility concerns are at the center of the Vote Center planning process. To make sure all persons can access Vote Centers, Larimer County seeks buildings located along bus routes and major thoroughfares for use as Vote Centers. Persons still requiring transportation are referred to local volunteers who run passenger vans on Election Day. In addition, Larimer County actively promotes voting opportunities for persons residing in health care facilities or retirement communities. The Elections Department staff coordinates with several facilities to personally deliver mail-in ballots to their residents, providing one member from each local major political party to assist the voters and return completed ballots to the Elections Department.
