FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Secretary Jena Griswold Reminds Voters to Use
Trusted Sources; Raises Awareness of Election
Disinformation
Denver, CO – Ballots for the 2025 Coordinated Election have been sent to voters. Secretary of State
Jena Griswold is reminding voters to always use trusted election sources and remain alert to election
disinformation.
“Election disinformation is a political tool used to undermine our democracy and divide our nation.
Coloradans should use trusted sources for election information, including GoVoteColorado.gov and
their County Clerk’s Office,” said Secretary Griswold.
Coloradans should use trusted sources when searching for information on elections. Information from
the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office is distributed via www.ColoradoSOS.gov or
www.GoVoteColorado.gov.
As the election nears, Colorado voters should be aware of disinformation related to elections such as
scams perpetrated online, via email, robocall, and text message – including with artificially generated
media such as “deepfakes.” Disinformation is meant to mislead and undermine confidence in
elections.
Voters should:
Rely on Colorado state and local government election officials for information about registering
to vote, voting, and election results.
Be aware that sensational content can be created or shared by foreign actors with the intent to
incite anger, mobilize, and to promote amplification of false information.
Seek information from trustworthy and reputable media and social media sources, considering
the author and their intent.
Critically evaluate the information you share and verify information with trusted sources such as
Colorado state and local election officials. If the information is not from a credible source or
if a second reliable source cannot be found, consider not sharing it as you may be
inadvertently amplifying misinformation.
Be wary of phone calls, texts, or emails from unfamiliar callers and senders that make
suspicious claims about the elections process or of social media posts that appear to spread
inconsistent information about election-related problems or results.
