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.

Those 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).

For full details of Prop CC and the pros and cons, see CoPo’s Oct. 12 print edition or visit ColoradoPolitics.com on Tuesday.

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.

For more on Prop DD, turn to the Aug. 31 Colorado Politics print edition or go online to tinyurl.com/CoPo-PropDD.

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.

Voters in Aurora, Lakewood and Thornton will choose their next mayor. Colorado Springs has a “de-Brucing” measure on its ballot. And Denver, Jefferson County and Douglas County are among the places voting on school board members.

Check back with Colorado Politics in print and online for continuing coverage ahead of election day. And we’ll bring you key results after the polls close Nov. 5.
