Colorado voters face 14 statewide ballot measures in 2026

Colorado voters face 14 statewide ballot measures in the 2026 election. These measures include amendments to the state constitution and propositions to change state law. Amendments typically require a 55% majority to pass, while propositions require a simple majority.

Key constitutional proposals include Amendment 81, which would require local law enforcement and prosecutors to report individuals charged with certain crimes to federal immigration authorities if their legal residency status is unknown or undocumented. Amendment 82 seeks to enshrine the right for residents and businesses to purchase and sell natural gas for cooking or heating, a move proponents say protects consumers from electrification mandates.

Additionally, Amendment 83 proposes establishing a constitutional right to hunt and fish using ‘traditional methods’ as the preferred policy for wildlife management. Other regional issues include a train tax (Issue 7A) specifically for Front Range voters.
