‘I have to use this right’: Southern Colorado political analyst speaks on higher midterm turnout
One week before election day, Colorado saw a turnout at a higher level than the same time in 2022. Colorado saw a higher midterm turnout one week before election day compared to the same time in 2022, when 742,935 people returned their ballots a week before the election. This year, 988,189 people returned ballots, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office. Additionally, more people are registered to vote this year, with 4.6 million registered voters compared to 4.3 million in 2022. Political analyst Ryan Strickler, an associate professor of political science at CU Boulder, believes voters are more motivated to turn out this year due to high polarization and rising concerns about policy issues such as gas prices, lower presidential approval ratings, and the Iran War. He also noted that both parties are successful in mobilizing voters against each other, particularly when there is a negative impact to voters.
