Today, Secretary of State Gigi Dennis announced Holly Z. Lowder of Alamosa County will serve as Colorado's Elections Director. Lowder will officially begin her work in the Colorado Secretary of State's office on June 1.

Mrs. Lowder has served as the Alamosa County Clerk and Recorder since her appointment in 1981 and has been involved with state policies relating to motor vehicle registration and election reform.

"Her experience as a local election official combined with her knowledge of county government makes her an extremely valuable asset for this office," Secretary of State Gigi Dennis said.

She has served as the President of the Colorado County Clerk's Association and currently serves on the Executive Board as Chairman of the Southern Region County Clerk and Recorders.

Lowder has been a leader for many of the counties in the southern region and serves on numerous boards and associations throughout the State of Colorado.

"She is uniquely qualified to help our office prepare for the upcoming elections," Dennis added. "Her qualifications will help us prepare for the upcoming elections. Most importantly she shares my goal to maintain the integrity and transparency of the elections process in Colorado."

The State of Colorado's Elections Director is responsible for overseeing state and county elections, which includes the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA), candidate and initiative petitions, campaign and political finance, voting system certification, and lobbyist registration and disclosure.
Lowder is filling the vacancy left by William C. Compton earlier this year. Lowder's final day with the Alamosa County Clerk and Recorder's office will be May 31.

Dana Williams is a public information officer with the Colorado Secretary of State's office.
