2024 Colorado Ballot Measures

Listed in Ballot Order

Please Note:  Church Voter Guides provides information, not opinions.  Just as our Candidate Voter Guides do not endorse or oppose candidates or political parties, this Ballot Measure Voter Guide does not evaluate the different Amendments and Propositions nor suggest how one should vote.  Instead, we have aggregated content from different sources regarding specific ballot measures (ones that we believe are most relevant to Christian voters) to help you better understand the issues and decide how to vote according to your values. 

Ballot measures can be confusing, and so we hope that our unique offering will help bring clarity.  We also suggest reading as many other voter guides as possible (and have included links to many on our website), so that you can “be informed and vote your values” in this important election.   And please tell others about www.ChurchVoterGuides.org so they can do the same. Thank you!

(3)  Any school district may deny any of its resident pupils or any nonresident pupils from other school districts within the state permission to enroll in particular programs or schools within such school district only for any of the following reasons:

(a)  There is a lack of space or teaching staff within a particular program or school requested, in which case, priority shall be given to resident students applying for admission to such program or school.

(b)  The school requested does not offer appropriate programs or is not structured or equipped with the necessary facilities to meet special needs of the pupil or does not offer a particular program requested.

(c)  The pupil does not meet the established eligibility criteria for participation in a particular program, including age requirements, course prerequisites, and required levels of performance.

(d)  A desegregation plan is in effect for the school district, and such denial is necessary in order to enable compliance with such desegregation plan.

(III)  The nonresident pupil is excluded from the school or program described in paragraph (a) of this subsection (5) for any of the reasons described in paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (3) of this section.

Christian voting

Voting is a simple, yet significant way to do something about public policy in our country. As people of faith, we will be held accountable for our actions, as well as our lack of action. (Luke 12:48)

Biblical worldview

By diligently learning, applying, and trusting God’s truths in every area of our lives, we can begin to develop a deep comprehensive faith that will stand against the unrelenting tide of our culture’s non-biblical ideas.

Vote your values

The issues of the day change. Political parties and platforms change. God’s Word never changes. The vote of every Christian should be based on the principles of Scripture and not persuasive personalities.

Electing righteous leaders
