Secretary of State also approves Peace Officer Training and Support Fund for November ballot.

Colorado voters will be asked to consider a ranked-choice voting system this November, which would change both the primary and general election for both state and federal races.

The Secretary of State’s Office announced this week that Proposition 310 does qualify for the November ballot. If approved, the ballot measure would create what is known as all-candidate primaries and switch the general election process to a ranked-choice system. 

If approved, the measure is aimed to go into effect in 2026 when primary elections would likely do away with partisan races, and would instead push the top four candidates who get the highest number of votes to qualify for the general election ballot.
