Colorado Open Records Act Applies to Electronic Election Records 

 

Citizen Center founder Marilyn Marks has won Court re-affirmation that electronic election records are subject to Colorado's Open Records Act.  

 

Jefferson County had refused Marks' requests to inspect and copy certain November 2010 electronic election records.  The County sought District Court protection. 

 

The Court found that Marks is correct; electronic election records are subject to public inspection, and further, the County is required to export electronic copies of such electronic records upon a valid request. 

 

See Final Order.  The Court awarded attorney fees to Marks.
