About these questions
City and town questions come from county and town ballot notices; any we haven't yet confirmed in an official document are marked unconfirmed. County, school district and special district questions (0 questions so far) come from each county clerk's TABOR notice or sample ballot. Some counties haven't posted theirs online, so your official sample ballot is the final word. Results appear as counties report after 7 p.m. on Nov. 3 and are unofficial until certified by Nov. 25.

What is a ballot question, and who decides it?
- Ballot issue. A tax, debt or spending question under Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR). A city, town, county or district needs voter approval to raise a tax or take on most long-term debt, and the title must state the amount, starting "SHALL (government) TAXES BE INCREASED" or "SHALL (government) DEBT BE INCREASED".
- Ballot question. Anything else put to voters, such as a charter amendment, term limits or an election change.
- Referred measure. The council or governing board voted to send it to voters. Most questions on this page got on the ballot this way.
- Initiative. Residents propose a new ordinance by petition. If the council doesn't adopt it, it goes to voters.
- Referendum. Residents petition, within 30 days of an ordinance being published, to have voters approve or reject an ordinance the council already passed.
- Letters and numbers. County ballots print this key: "Ballot questions referred by the general assembly or any political subdivision are listed by letter, and ballot questions initiated by the people are listed numerically." So 2A was referred by a government, and 300 started with a citizen petition. Some ballots call a council-referred question a "referendum"; the letter still means the council sent it.
- Who decides. Only registered voters who live inside the city, town, county or district. Fill in Yes to approve or No to reject; you can skip any question and the rest of your ballot still counts. A question passes with more yes votes than no votes. Your county clerk counts the ballots and posts unofficial results from 7 p.m. on Nov. 3; they become official when counties certify them, by Nov. 25.
Definitions from state law: C.R.S. 1-1-104 (ballot issue, ballot question, referred measure) and C.R.S. 31-11-104, -105 and -111 (initiative, referendum, majority vote). These are the state's default rules: a petition needs signatures from 5% of registered voters. Any city or town can set its own procedures by charter, ordinance or resolution (C.R.S. 31-11-102).

Statewide ballot measures
Download CSVAmendments and propositions
Amendments change the state constitution and usually need 55% to pass. Propositions change state law and need a simple majority. For neutral analysis and arguments for and against, read the 2026 Blue Book (en español).
How statewide measures work
- Lettered measures, like Proposition NN, were referred to voters by the legislature. Numbered ones, like Amendment 81, got on the ballot by citizen petition.
- Every Colorado voter gets the statewide measures. The Blue Book, written by the legislature's nonpartisan staff, is mailed to every household with a registered voter and explains each one, with arguments for and against.
- You answer by filling in Yes or No on your ballot. You can skip any measure, and the rest of your ballot still counts.
- Counties count the ballots and post unofficial results from 7 p.m. on Nov. 3. Counties certify their counts by Nov. 25, and the Secretary of State certifies the statewide results after that.

About VoteColorado
A free public resource, not a news site
VoteColorado collects what's on Colorado ballots and points to the official source for each item. We don't endorse candidates or positions.
VoteColorado is independent. It isn't affiliated with the State of Colorado, the Secretary of State or any county. For registration, ballot tracking and your official sample ballot, use GoVoteColorado.gov.

Sources
- Official sources come first. Government documents (the Secretary of State, county clerks, cities and towns, and the legislature's nonpartisan staff) are the primary source for every item. Other sources add context and never override an official one. How we rank sources
- City and town questions: county clerk sample ballots and TABOR notices, and the towns' own ballot resolutions and notices. A question we haven't yet confirmed in an official document is marked unconfirmed. With thanks to the Colorado Municipal League's fall 2026 preview. CML counts 107 issues; we list each part of a multi-part question (such as Niwot's incorporation) separately.
- County, school district and special district questions: each county clerk's 2026 TABOR notice, sample ballot or ballot list, and in a few cases the school district's own announcement. Each one links to the document it came from.
- Statewide measures: Colorado Secretary of State and the 2026 Blue Book (Spanish edition), Legislative Council Research Publication No. 842.
- Candidates: Secretary of State certified candidate list.
- Legislative and congressional voting records: Capitol Lens, built by Public Communicators Group. We link to it for context and don't copy its data.
How it's built
VoteColorado is built by BDITS with help from Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, which helped gather sources and draft the one-line summaries. Every item links to its source, and each local question is marked either "Official document verified" or "Awaiting official confirmation". Your county's official sample ballot is the final word.
Accuracy
Each source was last checked on these dates:
Some smaller counties haven't posted ballot language online yet; those questions link to the official sample-ballot lookup until they do. If you spot an error, email corrections@votecolorado.org. We fix errors and list every change on the corrections page.
Privacy
No accounts, no cookies, no ads and nothing sold. We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies. Your town is remembered in your browser only. When our own search finds nothing, the words you typed go to our server and to an AI classifier to suggest a page. Details are on the privacy page.
Data
All data is free to download and reuse under CC BY 4.0; credit "VoteColorado.org". See the terms of use. Files: city and town questions (CSV), county, school and district questions (CSV), statewide measures (CSV), races (JSON), source of every item (CSV).
How we show numbers
Every number, and where it comes from
VoteColorado reformats official records. It doesn't score, rate or predict anything. These are the rules behind each number on the site.
Which sources count
Official government documents come first. The primary source for every item is a government record: the Secretary of State, a county clerk's sample ballot or TABOR notice, a city or town's own ballot resolution or notice, the legislature's nonpartisan staff (the Blue Book and fiscal impact statements), or the state Division of Local Government. When a town's legal notice is only online as printed in a newspaper, we use it and say so.
Other sources are context, never the final word. The Colorado Municipal League's preview, news stories and Capitol Lens add context. They never override an official document. When they disagree, we follow the official one and log the change on the corrections page.
Unconfirmed means we haven't found it in an official document yet. A city or town question we haven't found in its county's or town's posted documents is marked unconfirmed, with a note on what we checked. Your county's sample ballot settles it. Every item's source and status is in our source audit (CSV).
Counts of questions
One count per question a voter marks. A town asking two questions counts twice. Places are cities, towns and Niwot, which votes on becoming a town.
Why our numbers differ from CML's. The Colorado Municipal League's preview says voters in "at least 90 cities and towns" will see candidates or ballot measures, and that it tracked 107 issues. Its list names 68 places with ballot questions. We show those 68 plus Brighton, whose South Brighton General Improvement District question comes from a city resolution. The rest of the 90 are towns electing only council members or mayors, which this site doesn't list. CML doesn't publish the list behind its 107, so we can't match that number item by item. We count every question a voter marks separately (Niwot alone has seven). We also list Mountain View's 2C, which isn't in CML's list; see the corrections page.
County, school and special district questions are counted separately: 0 questions in 0 counties so far. A question from a district that spans counties, like the Front Range Passenger Rail District's 7A, is listed under each county where it's on the ballot and counted once in the totals.
Vote needed to pass
Thresholds come from the 2026 Blue Book. Constitutional amendments need at least 55% of the votes cast, except an amendment that only repeals, which needs a simple majority; the Blue Book lists Amendment 87 that way. Propositions and local questions need a simple majority, meaning more yes votes than no votes. Once results are in, the black tick on each bar marks the threshold.
Results
Results come from each county's official election-night site, with the vote counts behind every percent. Local contests aren't reported on the state's page. We show the yes share with its counts ("52% yes, 1,204 of 2,315 votes") and round to the nearest whole percent. Results stay marked unofficial until counties certify them, which is due by Nov. 25, 2026.
On election night we show who's ahead, not who won. From 7 p.m. on Nov. 3 the site reads the state's official results site, which every county reports to, about once a minute. A measure or question reads "Yes ahead" or "No ahead" (an amendment that needs 55% reads "Short of 55%" below it) until we enter the certified result. We tie one of our questions to an official contest only when a town has one question and the county lists one contest for it, or when we've checked the pairing by hand; each question page names the official contest it's counted as. Every other contest the county lists under a town's name still shows on that town's panel, under its official name.
Money figures for local questions
Only from official documents, as printed. Most figures come from the question's TABOR notice: the government's own estimate of first-year revenue and its reported fiscal year spending. When a notice isn't posted online, the first-year amount comes from the official ballot language, which TABOR requires to state it, and the card says so. We don't compute shares or comparisons from them. TABOR fiscal year spending leaves out some money, such as reserves and some grants, so it isn't the government's full budget. Every question gets the same lines in the same order; a line the source doesn't print is left out rather than shown as zero. Where we can't find a question's notice online, the card says that and links to the county clerk, whose office mails the notice to every address with a registered voter.
Tax rates show the rate now and the rate if the question passes. They come from the ballot language, the TABOR notice or the town's own tax page, named on each card. They're the rate of that one tax, not the total you pay at the register, which also includes state, county and district taxes. An extension shows the same rate on both lines. Each figure and rate is read from its source twice, independently, and appears only when both reads agree.
State fiscal impact of statewide measures
Copied from Table 1 of each measure's fiscal impact statement. Legislative Council Staff, the legislature's nonpartisan research office, writes these: the estimated change in state revenue, state spending, transfers and TABOR refunds, for each fiscal year the table shows. Colorado's fiscal year runs July 1 to June 30. We add nothing of our own; a measure with no estimated effect shows $0. The short notes under some measures quote the same statement. These are estimates made before the election, not results.
Candidate photos
Photos appear only when we can show one for every candidate in a race. Until then, everyone in the race gets the same initials circle, so no candidate looks more established than an opponent. We use only photos that are public domain, openly licensed or sent by the campaign with permission to publish. Campaigns can send a photo they own the rights to, with the photographer's name, to hello@votecolorado.org.
AI assistance
Every number comes from an official source and is checked before it appears. Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, helped gather sources, draft one-line summaries and read figures from PDFs. Each money figure and candidate name was read twice, independently, from the official document, and appears only when both reads agree. Anything not yet confirmed is left out.
What this doesn't tell you
A summary isn't the ballot language. Your county's official sample ballot is the final word, and the TABOR notice mailed to your home has the arguments for and against each tax question.
