Additional centers nearby include locations at Fort Carson, the Zalman Center at Harrison High School and Redemption Hill Church.<\/p>\n \u201cI am grateful I wasn’t aware that they had voting centers,\u201d Thorbahn said.<\/p>\n Although District 4 has historically had the county’s lowest voter turnout, Schleiker said he has seen encouraging signs of increased engagement in southeast Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring the primary every single precinct in the southeast and theres 29 of em where they went higher in voter turnout in the primary than the last one and I anticipate the same thing because I see a lot of engagement down there southeast strong,\u201d Schleiker said.<\/p>\n The county hopes expanded access and additional voting locations will help more residents participate in the election.<\/p>\n In addition to in-person voting, the centers will offer replacement ballots and accessibility assistance.<\/p>\n Schleiker said language assistance is also available at every voter service and polling center.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery one of my VSPC centers has a tool called \u2018Pocketalk\u2019 and we can translate up to 76 different languages,\u201d Schleiker said.<\/p>\n The centers will open in phases. Twenty-one locations are scheduled to open Oct. 30, with the remaining centers opening Nov. 2. The county says staggering the openings helps match staffing and resources to when more voters are expected.<\/p>\n For Thorbahn, clearer information about voting locations and available services could make the process easier for residents across the southeast.<\/p>\n Her message to fellow voters is straightforward: make a plan and participate.<\/p>\n \u201cGet out there and vote, send your ballot in, whatever it takes, but do your duty,\u201d Thorbahn said.<\/p>\n KOAA News5<\/p>\n Contact Michelle Reyes<\/p>\n Have a story on the Southeast Side of Colorado Springs that we should cover?
