Election 2019: Ballots are on their way to Coloradans
Ballots will arrive in the mail this week for Colorado state and local elections that end Nov. 5.
The ballots include two statewide questions.
Proposition CC would allow the state to retain tax revenue that otherwise might be rebated to Coloradans under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.
That money would be spent on K-12 schools (one third), higher education (one third) and transportation (one-third).
There’s also Proposition DD, a measure that would allow sports wagering in Colorado and impose a 10% tax to help pay for state water projects.
CC and DD are the only matters that all Colorado voters will see on their ballots, which started going into the mail Oct. 11.
But depending on where you live, you’ll see a number of local candidates and issues on your ballot.
Colorado Springs has a “de-Brucing” measure on its ballot. Voters in Aurora, Lakewood and Thornton will choose their next mayor. And El Paso, Denver, Jefferson and Douglas counties are among the places voting on school board members.
