2024 Colorado Ballot Measure Recommendations
As a party, we are supporting ballot measures that reflect our values, ensure the ultra-wealthy cannot undermine our democracy, protect reproductive freedom, and enshrine the right to marriage for all Coloradans.
Below is a list of all of the ballot measures that the Colorado Democratic Party supports:
YES on: Amendment 79 – Enshrines abortion access as a constitutional right in Colorado and repeals the existing ban on state and local government funding for abortion services
YES on: Amendment G - Extends homestead exemption eligibility to veterans with unemployment status
YES on: Amendment H - Increases the judicial discipline process's transparency, independence, and integrity to improve public trust
YES on: Amendment I - Restores the ability of judges to deny bail to people charged with first-degree murder if certain criteria are met
YES on: Amendment J - Repeal the Definition of Marriage in the Constitution, protecting marriage equality in Colorado
YES on: Amendment K - Modify Constitutional Election Deadlines
YES on: Proposition JJ - Retain Additional Sports Betting Tax Revenue
YES on: Proposition KK - Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax
We encourage you to join us in voting YES on the above ballot measures in November.
_________________
We’re also encouraging you to vote NO on the following measures this fall. From turning our democracy over to the ultra-wealthy and confusing voters, to potential back-door vouchers that take money from public schools, these measures put our Democratic values at risk and make our state a tougher place to live.
Below is a list of all of the ballot measures that the Colorado Democratic Party opposes:
NO on: Amendment 80 - This measure opens the door to backdoor vouchers and diverts public money to private schools
NO on: Proposition 128 - Once people have served proportional punishment, they should have a fair chance to re-enter society. This measure would make that harder
NO on: Proposition 131 - This measure is being promoted by millionaires who are looking to create an overly confusing election system where dark money would have an even bigger influence on our elections
