Election 2023 ballots are in the mail. Here’s what Coloradans need to know to cast their vote.
Ballots for the November 2023 statewide election will start being mailed to Colorado voters today.
Here’s what you need to know to participate in the Nov. 7 contest.
There are two statewide measures on the November ballot — Proposition II and Proposition HH. The Colorado Sun is closely following both initiatives.
Proposition II would let the state keep nearly $23.7 million in excess revenue from tobacco and nicotine taxes and use the money to bolster Colorado’s new universal preschool program. The measure would also let the state retain and spend future excess.
If voters reject Proposition II, the tax revenue collected above what was projected will be returned to nicotine and tobacco wholesalers and distributors. Additionally, the nicotine and tobacco tax rates will be cut to prevent future excess revenue.
Proposition HH is a highly complex 10-year property tax relief plan that would also grow the state budget, place new limits on local government spending and rework how taxpayer refunds are distributed.
