Do you feel like you don’t know enough about the issues in Colorado to vote? You’re not alone!
At Developmental Pathways, we understand that every vote counts, so we want to share information about the current issues on the ballot to help you make an informed vote. Our goal is to educate in a way that empowers you to look at both sides of the issue and then make your choice.
Colorado sends a Blue Book to voters available in English, Spanish, and an audio version each year. You may have already received this in the mail. It provides a detailed, unbiased overview of the statewide ballot measures available to vote on, but sometimes it can be a bit confusing. That’s why we – and many other groups – create simplified voter guides based on the Blue Book.
This year’s guide includes three statewide ballot measures. All of these measures impact taxes or fiscal issues. Please note that this guide does not include local ballot issues, which may vary depending on the city, county, and special district where you live.
Additional Resources & Reminders
While we think our guide is a great tool, we want to make sure you know about the many resources available to help you understand the ballot. During the voting season, it’s key to get registered, educated, and vote on issues that affect you and your community.
