Vote YES on Amendment 87 — Graduated Income Tax, Proposition NN — Funding for Schools and Issue 7A — Front Range Passenger Rail. These are the only statewide ballot measures on which we recommend a YES vote. Why? Some of the other measures may sound appealing at first glance, but a closer look reveals efforts backed by wealthy conservative interests to weaken existing Colorado law, restrict the state’s ability to govern effectively, and further constrain public funding under TABOR. For the remaining statewide ballot measures, we recommend following the Colorado Democratic Party’s official positions. We are taking no position on other local ballot measures. For voters in Colorado Springs School District 11, the District 11 teachers’ union has also taken no position on Issue 4A. We have no official recommendation on judicial retention. However, those who reviewed the judicial evaluations and available records found no evidence that any judge on the ballot should be removed this year.
Vote as Soon as Possible At A Dropbox
Once you’ve completed your ballot, please vote as soon as possible. We encourage voters to return their ballots at an official ballot drop box rather than waiting until Election Day. Voting early doesn’t just make sure your ballot is in — it also helps campaigns use their limited resources more effectively. Once your ballot is recorded as returned, campaigns can stop directing texts, calls, mailers, and other voter-contact efforts toward you and focus those resources on voters who still need to cast their ballots. The earlier you vote, the more we can focus on getting other voters to the polls.
