Signatures turned in today for private property rights

DENVER, Aug. 3, 2018 -- Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams announced today that the proponents of the private property rights measure Initiative 108 turned in signatures today.

The Secretary of State's office has 30 days to review the information provided on the petitions and determine whether the proposed measures will make the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Monday is the deadline to turn in petition signatures. They must be received by our office by 3 p.m., and we have to announce by Sept. 5 whether an issue makes the ballot.

To examine the measures, go to the Initiative Filings, Agendas & Results link on the Secretary of State web page and the first set of measures marked "Approved for Circulation." When you click on each measure, there will be a link marked "hearing result." Click on that link and the ballot titles will say whether it is a proposed change to the Colorado Constitution or state statute. Measures that change statutes require a simple majority to pass, and there is no 35-Senate district requirement.
