Questions could cover disability access, Spanish-language assistance and other potential voting barriers. Bilingual monitors will be available. Voters won't be required to answer, Pels said.

5 Best Restaurants in Colorado Springs, Colorado You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Colorado Springs is a city where the mountains stand sentinel and the sky stretches wide—a place where the air is crisp with possibility, where neighborhoods are stitched together by the laughter of military families, artists, students, and old-timers who remember when the city was just a patchwork of ranches and wild prairie.
