ballot measure

In addition to 14 statewide ballot measures, local and congressional races, voters in Colorado are deciding on every statewide office in this year’s election.

Colorado voters have a long ballot this year, with 14 statewide ballot measures covering issues ranging from taxes and government spending to hunting, immigration and criminal penalties.

Voters in Mancos, Cortez and Montezuma County will decide separate tax proposals in November. Meanwhile, an already-approved Cortez sales-tax holiday will begin as people receive their ballots in the mail.

The Montezuma County commissioners are considering letting voters decide whether to extend term limits on certain county offices.

The $95 million a year voters approved when they passed Proposition MM in November is expected to generate enough to fund the Health School Meals for All program. But it might still go back to the ballot.

This November, voters in the Mancos School District will decide whether to approve a Mill Levy Override—a property tax increase that would raise about $600,000 annually to support teacher and paraprofessional salaries. District leaders say the measure would help attract and retain staff and improve student outcomes, while opponents cite concerns about higher property taxes. The proposed levy would not expire, ensuring long-term funding stability for Mancos schools.

With election day less than a month away, the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder held a voter drive at All Roads shelter. The goal was to assist county residents who are in housing transition or are unhoused.
