§ C.R.S. § 1-2-401Legislative declaration

It is the intent of the general assembly that, in order to
promote and encourage voter registration of all eligible electors in the state, registration should
be made as convenient as possible. It is determined by the general assembly that if voter
registration is convenient, the number of registered voters will increase. It is further determined
by the general assembly that support and cooperation of school officials and interested citizens
will make high school registration successful. It is therefore the purpose of this part 4 to
encourage voter registration by providing convenient registration procedures for qualified high
school students, employees, and other persons by using high school deputy registrars.
