High School Resources

Boulder County Elections is committed to empowering the next generation of voters by fostering civic engagement among high school students. Through partnerships with Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley School Districts, we provide voter registration resources, training, and opportunities for students to participate in the democratic process.

In Colorado, teens can pre-register to vote as early as 15, ensuring they are ready to cast their ballot when they turn 18. From supporting Voter Registration Liaisons in every high school to hosting Student Voter Registration Awareness Week and offering paid Student Election Judge positions through our Student Democracy Program, we aim to make voter registration accessible, engaging, and impactful.

Student Voter Registration Awareness Week

Student Voter Registration Awareness Week is April 7 – 11, 2025! Now in its sixth year, this week-long initiative supports student leaders, teachers, and staff in educating high schoolers about voter registration, helping students register and pre-register to vote, hosting civic engagement activities, and ensuring that registration is accessible and convenient. Students as young as 15 can pre-register, taking the first step toward making their voices heard in future elections.

Look out for registration opportunities at your school and connect with your Voter Registration Liaison to learn how you can join us for this fun and engaging week!

Student Voter Registration Liaisons and Educational Resources

Boulder County Elections works with BVSD and SVVSD schools to identify, train, and provide resources for High School Student Voter Registration Liaisons as they promote voter awareness and civic engagement.

Visit our High School Student Voter Registration Liaison page to learn more about the role, how to become a liaison, and access helpful resources. Liaisons are typically civic or government teachers or school counselors, but can really be any staff member at the school. Some schools also have multiple liaisons!

Students, teachers, or parents — unsure who your school’s liaison is? Ask your school’s principal or click the button below to view a list of liaisons by school! Join us in empowering young voters in Boulder County.

Student Democracy Program

The Student Democracy Program hires local high school juniors and seniors, aged 16 and 17, to work in Boulder County Elections. Students are encouraged to apply for PAID positions monitoring and administering this year’s Coordinated Election.

Student Election Judges assist experienced election judges in one of our four vote centers, gaining valuable firsthand experience in the elections process. This civic public service experience looks great on applications and resumes!
