2026 Ballot Measures
There are many ballot measures this year. The Secretary of State has the official list of state-certified ballot measures and the Colorado Democratic Party (CDP) has recommended positions on most of these.
Jefferson County voters will have two additional measures, Ballot Issues 5A & 5B, which the JeffCo Dems fully support. Voters in Arvada, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, and the West Metro Fire Protection District have local measures that all have our full support.
See below for more information about these ballot measures and be sure to read your Blue Book. The nonpartisan 2026 Blue Book is now available as a PDF online in English and en Español. An audio version is also available.
Jeffco's Clerk and Recorder Office will have a sample ballot available here.
