Amendment 85 | Eight grade reading level for ballot questions

Source Scout · The Gazette reports: Amendment 85, backed by Advance Colorado , would amend the state constitution to require state and local ballot questions to be written in plain language at no higher than an eighth-grade reading level. The measure also would prevent state laws from requiring certain language in citizen-initiated ballot titles if those requirements conflict with the plain-language standard. The proposal comes as Colorado voters face 14 statewide ballot measures this year, matching the number on the 2024 ballot and tying the record for the most statewide measures in recent history.
