2026 Statewide Ballot Measures
Amendment 81
Notification of U.S. Department of Homeland Security for Certain Criminal Charges and Immigration Status Initiative
Amendment 81 would amend the state constitution and would require law enforcement to notify the U.S. Department of Homeland Security when a person is charged with a crime of violence or has a prior felony conviction, and the person’s immigration status cannot be determined
Amendment 82
Constitutional Right to Purchase Natural Gas
Amendment 82 would amend the state constitution to establish a right for consumers to purchase natural gas for cooking or heating in their homes and businesses. It would also establish a right for natural gas producers and utilities to sell gas to homes and businesses.
Amendment 83
Constitutional Right to Hunt and Fish
Amendment 83 would amend the state constitution to establish the right to hunt, fish, and harvest fish and wildlife by traditional methods, including all species of fish and wildlife managed by the state except non-game species, endangered species, or any species that is illegal to hunt under federal law.
Amendment 84
Require Voter Identification Number for Mail-In Ballots Initiative
Amendment 84 would require Colorado voters to write the last four digits of their Social Security number or driver’s license/ID number on the outside of their mail ballot. If the information is missing or incorrect, voters would have to fix it before their ballot could be counted.
Amendment 85
Require Plain Language and Eighth-Grade Reading Level for Ballot Measures Initiative
Amendment 85 would require Colorado ballot questions to be written in plain language at an eighth-grade reading level or lower.
Amendment 86
Mid-Decade Congressional Redistricting
Amendment 86 would require congressional maps drawn in 2028 to be approved by both a nonpolitical commission and the state Supreme Court.
Amendment 87
Graduated Income Tax
If passed, Amendment 87 will replace Colorado's flat income tax system with a graduated tax spent exclusively on K-12 education, healthcare, and childcare.
Amendment 87 needs only a simple majority to pass, as it repeals existing constitutional language.
Proposition 132
Penalties for Fentanyl Sale and Possession Measure
Proposition 132 would increase felony penalties for fentanyl-related offenses and require treatment for some possession convictions. It would also allow certain drug possession offenses to count toward habitual offender status.
Proposition 133
Require Life in Prison for Human Trafficking of Minors Measure
Proposition 133 would make the sexual trafficking of a minor in Colorado a life-in-prison offense without the possibility of parole and expand the definition of the crime to include exchanging anything of value for sexual activity involving a minor.
Proposition 134
Sex Requirement for School and College Sports Initiative
Proposition 134 would require all K–12 and college sports teams in Colorado to be separated based on biological sex, unless a team is explicitly designated as co-ed. In practice, that means schools would generally have boys’ and girls’ teams determined by sex assigned at birth rather than gender identity.
Proposition 135
Prohibit Surgeries for Treatment in Response to Minors' Perception of Sex or Gender Measure
Proposition 135 would prohibit certain gender-affirming surgeries for minors under age 18 and bar the use of state or federal funds, Medicaid reimbursements, and insurance coverage for those procedures.
Proposition 136
Establish 4.4% Cap on Individual and Corporate Income Tax Rates Initiative
Proposition 136 would cap Colorado’s individual and corporate income tax rate at 4.4%. It’s a statutory measure, meaning it would change state law rather than the Colorado Constitution.
Proposition 137
Retain Sporting Goods Sales Tax Revenue for Conservation and Wildfire Prevention Fund Initiative
Proposition 137 would redirect existing sales tax revenue from sporting goods to conservation, wildfire prevention, water and land protection, and outdoor recreation. It would not raise the sales tax rate, but could reduce TABOR refunds to taxpayers.
Proposition NN
TABOR Revenue Cap Increase for K-12 Education Measure
Proposition NN was placed on the ballot by the state legislature. It would increase the amount of tax revenue that the state is allowed to retain under TABOR to allow the state to increase spending on K-12 public education by two percent each year for the next ten years. The money would be used to increase teacher pay, improve teacher retention, lower class sizes, and increase access to career and technical courses.
