Amendment 84: Mail Ballot Voter Identification

Colorado

My vote power

Above average

Election date

November 3, 2026

How do we calculate my vote power?

What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.

Representation: Average · 50 out of 100

This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 5,862,189 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,862,189 ÷ 5,862,189) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in CO (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)

Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.

Ballot Measure

Voters would have to write the last four digits of their Social Security number or their Colorado driver's license or ID number on the mail ballot envelope, next to their signature. A ballot missing that number would not count until the voter fixes it, and elections would cost more to run.

More about this measure

A YES vote means

Every mail ballot needs a signature plus an ID number on the envelope. Ballots without a matching number are set aside until the voter fixes the problem.

A NO vote means

Mail ballots keep working as they do now: a signature check only, with no ID number required on the envelope.
