Local Measures

A Colorado Local Voter Approval for Gambling Amendment did not make the November 4, 2014 ballot in Colorado as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure sought the prohibition of statewide elections to legalize any type of gambling from taking effect without an additional local vote. The prohibition would have taken effect on any new authorization for gambling approved on or after the November 2014 election.[1][2]

Support

  • Richard Evans, primary proponent
  • Stephen Roark, second proponent

Supporters would have had to gather 86,105 valid signatures by Monday, August 4 at 3:00 PM for the measure to appear on the ballot. Despite having a ballot title set, no initiative on the matter had its petition format approved making it impossible to place the measure on the 2014 ballot.[3]
