Tier 6
Statewide Ballot Measures
Fourteen statewide measures are on every Colorado ballot this year. Amendments change the state constitution and most need 55% to pass. Propositions change state law and need a simple majority. Here is how BCRC recommends voting.
Constitutional Amendments
Amendments 81 to 86
- Amendment 81Police notify federal immigration authorities about certain criminal suspects.
- Amendment 82Constitutional right to buy and sell natural gas for home and business.
- Amendment 83Constitutional right to hunt and fish.
- Amendment 84Requires voter ID on mail ballots.
- Amendment 85Requires clear, plain-language ballot titles and summaries.
- Amendment 86Limits off-cycle congressional redistricting.

- Proposition 133Life sentences for human trafficking of a minor.
- Proposition 134School and college sports teams based on biological sex.
- Proposition 135Prohibits surgery on a minor to alter biological sex.
- Proposition 136Caps Colorado's state income tax rate at 4.4%.
Statewide Measures
Amendment 87, Prop NN, Prop 137
- Amendment 87Replaces Colorado's flat 4.4% income tax with graduated rates from 3.7% to 8.4%.
- Proposition NNLets the state keep money that would otherwise come back to you as TABOR refunds.
- Proposition 137Moves sporting-goods sales tax revenue outside TABOR, shrinking refunds.
Amendment 87 needs only a simple majority to pass, not 55%.
Judicial Retention
Justices & Judges
One Colorado Supreme Court justice, six Court of Appeals judges and five 17th Judicial District judges are on the Broomfield ballot for retention. BCRC makes no recommendation on these. Do your own research: the state publishes an evaluation of every judge on the ballot.
Tier 7

Why "Neutral" cards exist
Primary Neutrality Has Ended.
Article III, Section C of the BCRC Bylaws prohibited the Central Committee from endorsing, supporting, or opposing any candidate for public office before the primary, unless that candidate was unopposed. That neutrality guaranteed a fair shake for every Republican in a contested primary, and it expired when the primary closed on June 30, 2026. With our nominees now set, BCRC endorses the Republican on the ballot in each race, except any still awaiting a certified result.
