2024 Grand County voter survey

In order to make good decisions, elected officials and candidates need to hear from voters. Not everyone has time to attend public hearings or write letters, so we have set up this survey to collect opinions from a wider range of Grand County residents.

This survey is a collaboration of Jacques Hadler, Trisha Hedin, Ashley Korenblat, Jason Ramsdell, and others.

Your name and survey responses will be kept strictly private.

Thanks for participating!
