" Weld County voters can continue to count on our office to be transparent when it comes to elections. We are once again making all ballot images available for free in an even more convenient to use format," said Carly Koppes, Weld Clerk and Recorder, in a news release. "This is one of several initiatives the Clerk's office offers to ensure confidence and trust in the election process and the confirmation of election results."
Other initiatives have included in-person tours of the process during the election, high-level election information on the county website regarding procedures and locations for casting ballots and videos of the election process posted to Facebook and Twitter, according to the release.
The Elections Department webpage, bit.ly/WeldElections, features a "Trusted Election Information" section, offering documents and resources on the election process, election security and potential areas of misinformation.
