Don’t be surprised when you open your Colorado general election ballot to find fourteen statewide measures, both constitutional and statutory changes. Add in as many as a dozen local measures (as is the case with the Denver ballot) and it may feel like you sat down to start a novel.
Complete Colorado has compiled a list of ballot guides from a variety of libertarian and right-of-center sources, as well as Colorado Governor Jared Polis, to help you sort through it all.
Here are the guides:
The Independence Institute: Colorado’s free market think tank (also the publisher of Complete Colorado) offers a guide to the statewide ballot measures, as well as select local measures lifting revenue limits under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR). They also weigh in on the nine citywide questions on the Denver ballot (spoiler alert: they’re a “No” on all of them).
The Centennial Institute: Part of Colorado Christian University, Centennial Institute offers their Christian conservative take on the statewide ballot measures.
