Protecting Aurora’s Vote: Why Voter Impersonation Is No Small Matter
“Impersonating another voter is a very serious crime.” — David Becker
In Aurora, every ballot counts toward shaping our schools, roads, public safety and the quality of life we all enjoy. That’s why the city and the State of Colorado treat voter impersonation as a grave felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and hefty fines. When someone pretends to be another voter, they not only break the law—they undermine the trust that makes our local elections fair and transparent.
If you’re headed to the Aurora polling place on Election Day, remember to bring a valid photo ID (Colorado driver’s license, state ID, or passport) and verify your registration at the Aurora Election Department. The city’s voter‑verification kiosks and the Colorado Secretary of State’s online portal make it easy to confirm your details ahead of time.
Should you suspect voter fraud or witness someone attempting to cast a ballot in another person’s name, report it immediately to the Aurora Police Department’s non‑emergency line (303‑555‑1234) or the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s Election Crime Unit. Prompt reporting helps preserve the integrity of Aurora’s elections and protects every resident’s right to a voice in our community.
Stay informed, vote responsibly, and keep Aurora’s democracy strong. For more information on voter registration, ID requirements, and how to report election irregularities, visit auroragov.org/elections. Your participation safeguards the future of our city.
