These 8 measures will be on Colorado’s November ballot

Col­orado vot­ers will see at least eight and pos­si­bly as many as 11 statewide mea­sures on their bal­lots in November.

The list of ques­tions is far few­er than advo­cates had antic­i­pat­ed for this year’s pres­i­den­tial elec­tion. Many groups that had intend­ed to pur­sue cit­i­zen ini­tia­tives cit­ed the dif­fi­cul­ty in col­lect­ing sig­na­tures dur­ing a glob­al health cri­sis as a rea­son they either halt­ed their cam­paigns or were unable to col­lect enough signatures.

The Col­orado state leg­is­la­ture referred three ques­tions to the ballot.

Here are the mea­sures Col­orado vot­ers could be decid­ing on in November.

National Popular Vote

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure will allow Col­orado to join oth­er states in cast­ing its elec­toral votes for the win­ner of the nation­al pop­u­lar vote rather than the win­ner of the state pop­u­lar vote. Cit­i­zens led the effort to put this on the bal­lot to over­turn a bill that was passed and signed in 2019.

Where it is in the process: On the ballot.

Reintroduction of gray wolves

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure will rein­tro­duce gray wolves into Col­orado and task the state with devel­op­ing a man­age­ment plan.

Where it is in the process: On the ballot.

Ban on abortions at 22 weeks

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure will make it ille­gal to per­form an abor­tion begin­ning at 22 weeks in a preg­nan­cy with an excep­tion if a mother’s life is phys­i­cal­ly threatened.

Where it is in the process: On the ballot.

Gallagher Amendment repeal

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure will repeal the 1982 Gal­lagher Amend­ment, which lim­its home­own­ers’ prop­er­ty tax to no more than 45% of the com­bined prop­er­ty tax total for res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial prop­er­ties. Tak­en in com­bi­na­tion with oth­er Col­orado tax laws, the amend­ment will cause a sub­stan­tial drop in rev­enue for schools, fire depart­ments and oth­er state and local gov­ern­ment agen­cies if it remains.

Where it is in the process: On the bal­lot after being referred by the Gen­er­al Assembly.

State income tax rate reduction

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure would cut the state’s income tax rate from 4.63% to 4.55%.

Where it is in the process: On the ballot.

Tobacco and nicotine taxes

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure will cre­ate a tax on nico­tine prod­ucts such as those used for vap­ing to equal the tobac­co prod­ucts tax, which will be incre­men­tal­ly raised to 22% of the list­ed manufacturer’s price. The cig­a­rette tax will also increase by up to 9 cents per cigarette.

Where it is in the process: On the bal­lot after being referred by the Gen­er­al Assembly.

Citizenship qualification of electors

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure will reit­er­ate that only cit­i­zens can vote in elec­tions and pre­vents cities from allow­ing nonci­t­i­zens to vote in local elec­tions. It does not apply to home-rule cities and towns.

Where it is in the process: On the ballot.

Bingo raffle rules changes

What it does: If approved, this mea­sure would allow bin­go raf­fle licensees to hire peo­ple for char­i­ta­ble games and reduce the time required that a char­i­ty has to have been in busi­ness before get­ting a license.

Where it is in the process: On the bal­lot after being referred by the Gen­er­al Assembly.

Paid family and medical leave

What it does: If approved, the mea­sure will cre­ate a statewide pro­gram through the col­lec­tion of insur­ance pre­mi­ums from employ­ers and employ­ees to allow an indi­vid­ual to take paid fam­i­ly and med­ical leave for up to 12 weeks a year.

Where it is in the process: Sig­na­tures being reviewed.

Voter approval requirement for creation of fee-based enterprises

What it does: If approved, the cre­ation of any new state pro­gram with pro­ject­ed or actu­al rev­enue expect­ed to exceed $100 mil­lion has to go to the voters.

Where it is in the process: Sig­na­tures being reviewed.

Local control of gaming limits

What it does: If approved, this con­sti­tu­tion­al amend­ment will allow vot­ers in those cities to change the gam­ing lim­its in their cities’ gam­ing districts.

Where it is in the process: Sig­na­tures being reviewed.
