Amendment K: If supported, election officials would have more time to prepare ballots

Colorado voters in November will be asked to move up a number of constitutional filing deadlines for candidates and citizen initiatives to give county clerks more time to prepare ballots in future elections.

Amendment K, referred to voters by the state legislature earlier this year, would amend the state constitution to require supporters of citizen-led ballot initiatives to submit petitions one week earlier in order to qualify for the ballot.

Judges would also have to file their declarations of intent to seek another term a week sooner. If the measure passes, nonpartisan legislative staff would have to publish the text of all the statewide ballot measures in newspapers across Colorado 15 days earlier.
