Proposed Initiatives #50, #108 Withdraw from General Election Ballot
Denver, September 4, 2024 - Proponents of Proposed Initiative #50, “Voter Approval to Retain Additional Property Tax Revenue,” and Proposed Initiative #108, “Valuation for Assessments,” have withdrawn those measures from the 2024 General Election ballot. As a result, those initiatives will not appear on the General Election ballot in November.
Proposed Initiative #50 was deemed sufficient to appear on the General Election ballot on October 6, 2023. Proponents submitted 227,357 signatures. Because the initiative proposed a change to the Colorado Constitution, the initiative was required to submit 124,238 valid signatures including signatures equal to two percent of the total registered electors from each of Colorado’s 35 Senate districts. The Elections Division determined that 172,231 were valid, including the required number of signatures from each Senate district.
Proposed Initiative #108 was deemed sufficient to appear on the General Election ballot on August 21, 2024. Proponents submitted 196,994 petition signatures. After reviewing a five-percent random sample of the submitted signatures, the Elections Division projected the number of valid signatures to be greater than 110 percent of the total number of 124,238 signatures required for placement on the ballot.
State law gives the proponents of a ballot measure the right to withdraw their measure at any time, including after a petition has been submitted and deemed sufficient, so long as they do so no later than sixty days before the election. For the 2024 General Election, that deadline is September 6, 2024.
Pursuant to the Title Board’s rules, the withdrawal of the initiative by proponents is irrevocable.
