The Colorado Campaign Expenditure Limits Initiative (#80) was not on the ballot in Colorado as an initiated state statute on November 8, 2022.

Measure design

The initiative would have limited committee expenditures to 150% of contributions received by an individual with a voter registration number who is eligible to vote for the candidate or issue the committee supports or opposes.[1][2]

Text of measure

Ballot title

The ballot title was as follows:[1][2]

“ Shall there be a change to the Colorado Revised Statutes limiting the campaign expenditures of a candidate committee, political committee, or issue committee in an election cycle to 150% of eligible elector contributions received by the committee during the election cycle, and, in connection therewith, creating and defining an "eligible elector contribution" as a contribution that is accompanied by a voter registration number that verifies the contributor’s eligibility to vote for the candidate or issue that the committee supports or opposes; requiring additional information in contribution disclosures; requiring the secretary of state to provide additional electronic means of reporting and tracking campaign contributions and expenditures; and imposing monetary penalties for violations?[3] ”

The state process

In Colorado, the number of signatures required to qualify an initiated state statute for the ballot is equal to 5 percent of the total number of votes cast for the office of Colorado secretary of state in the preceding general election. State law provides that petitioners have six months to collect signatures after the ballot language and title are finalized. State statutes require a completed signature petition to be filed three months and three weeks before the election at which the measure would appear on the ballot. The Constitution, however, states that the petition must be filed three months before the election at which the measure would appear. The secretary of state generally lists a date that is three months before the election as the filing deadline.

The requirements to get an initiated state statute certified for the 2022 ballot:

The secretary of state is responsible for signature verification. Verification is conducted through a review of petitions regarding correct form and then a 5 percent random sampling verification. If the sampling projects between 90 percent and 110 percent of required valid signatures, a full check of all signatures is required. If the sampling projects more than 110 percent of the required signatures, the initiative is certified. If less than 90 percent, the initiative fails.
