COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – The Colorado Democratic and Republican Parties are asking voters to say no to Proposition 131, while voters not affiliated with either party say it could give them more options.

According to the State Ballot Information Booklet , a ‘Yes’ vote on Prop. 131 would implement ranked choice voting for all Colorado elections. Instead of picking just one candidate, voters would rank all the candidates with the top four advancing to the general election. The general election ballot would require voters to rank all four candidates from most to least preferred.
This would only impact these elections:
- U.S. Senator
- U.S. Representative
- Governor and Lieutenant Governor
- Secretary of State
- State Treasurer
- State Attorney General
- Member of the State Board of Education
- Regent of the University of Colorado
- State Senator
- State Representative
It would not change presidential, county, or city elections.
