Colorado: November Ballot Could Be Crowded

Currently, one initiative has been approved for the Fall ballot (Amendment 69 “ColoradoCares “) which would create a state health care system. However, 24 other initiatives have had titles approved and are gathering signatures in hopes of joining Amendment 69 on the ballot. The initiatives cover a variety of topics, including oil and gas (initiatives 40, 63 and 78), creating a presidential primary election (initiatives 98, 140 and 142) and strengthening the requirements for Initiated Constitutional Amendments (initiative 96). Supporters must submit signatures by August 8 in order to be considered. Note: CAR opposes Amendment 69 and supports Initiative 96.
