At the Foundation, community engagement is a cornerstone of our work because it generates a better understanding of each community's unique strengths and resources from the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains. Keeping an eye on the policy topics that appear – or don't appear – in the places where local-level policy decisions are made is one way that we can deepen our understanding of the nuances across Colorado's communities and the underlying factors that shape our health in the different places we call home.
Each year, the Foundation maintains a comprehensive annual tracker of the city- and county-level ballot measure questions considered by voters in communities across Colorado. These local ballot measure trackers are publicly available and can be used to better understand policy issues occurring in your municipality or county or to track the issues appearing in other cities, towns and counties across Colorado.
Scroll down below to view the trackers for 2023 and previous years.
The 2023 tracker is continuously updated as new local ballot measures are proposed and decided by voters. Make sure to bookmark this page so you can come back to it as a reference.

Please note: The Foundation provides these trackers for educational and informational purposes. The Foundation is prohibited from engaging in direct lobbying activities and does not take positions in support or opposition to any state or local ballot measure.
2023 Local Ballot Measure Tracker
The 2023 Local Ballot Measure Tracker is a one-stop shop compilation of Colorado municipal and county ballot initiatives. The Colorado Health Foundation, in partnership with the Colorado Health Institute, has created this tracker to create greater visibility into critical policy decisions being made by voters at the local level. This tracker will automatically be updated as new measures are proposed and results become available.
