Voters in the City of Trinidad may have noticed something was missing from their ballot when they were sent. On Tuesday, Oct. 22, Las Animas County issued a letter addressing the error and what citizens who were affected should do.
Some ballots sent to voters in Trinidad did not contain the city of Trinidad’s TABOR issue, also known as Ballot Measure 2A. The measure would fund improvements to parks, playgrounds, open spaces, and other spaces that need it. The proposed tax would be paid by hotel, motel, and Airbnb guests.
Voters affected live in portions of Precinct Six on the western side of Trinidad. The Las Animas County Clerk and Recorder reported the error to the Secretary of State’s Office and obtained guidance on the best way to fix the correct replacement ballots for affected voters. The office determined they would send replacement ballots to affected voters.
