This year's election in Mesa County is focused on two things: electing school board members to the educational boards of Mesa County Valley SD 51 and Plateau Valley SD 50, and extension of term limits for County sheriff, coroner and district attorney. Students will vote on these items on their online ballots, while adults will do so using mail-in ballots.

It is important that both students and adults vote as informed voters. You may use these resources to help you get started:

• Candidate Video  (Click Play to start the video. Right click on video > Zoom for Full Screen)
• KAFM 88.1 Radio Interview with the candidates.
• The Monday Student Reporter Articles in The Daily Sentinel

All of these resources were produced with help from students in Mesa County Valley SD 51 and in partnership with The Daily Sentinel, MCVSD51, the League of Women Voters, and KAFM.

Kids Voting Mesa County is nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization dedicated to educating young people in kindergarten through 12th grades in Mesa County about the significance of an informed electorate and about the importance of voting to sustain our democracy.
