Welcome to the Colorado Politics, The Denver Gazette and Colorado Springs Gazette live blog of the 2024 elections. We have a dozen journalists covering today’s elections and we will be updating this blog throughout the day — and night. So, be sure to check here for election results, developments and other updates.
5 a.m. What’s at stake?
Roughly 3.5 million Coloradans will cast a ballot by 7 p.m. today, their choices potentially steering the state on an array of issues — from hunting to taxation to education.
Even as the country’s attention is focused on the race for the White House between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Coloradans are poised to decide how future elections are conducted and whether to enshrine school choice or abortion rights in the Colorado Constitution.
In another question, voters might ban Coloradans from hunting big cats.
Those are just a few of the 14 questions on the statewide ballot.
Also on election night, the state’s voters could have a hand in picking which party wields the gavel in the U.S. House of Representatives when the next Congress convenes in January.
