Overview

• Proposition 131, which aimed to introduce a top-four primary and ranked choice voting for certain elections, was rejected by 56% of Colorado voters.
• The initiative was supported by Kent Thiry and Nick Troiano of Unite America but faced opposition due to concerns over cost and influence by wealthy individuals.
• Proposition 127, which sought to ban trophy hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx, was also defeated with 54% voting against it.
• Opponents of the hunting ban argued it was not based on scientific principles and could lead to further restrictions on hunting.
• Other ballot measures saw mixed results, with a firearms excise tax passing and a school choice amendment failing to reach the required approval threshold.
