City of Lakewood Ballot Question 2J: Timing of Initiative and Referendum Elections
Lakewood city, Colorado
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
Lakewood would hold elections on citizen-proposed laws and referendums 60 to 150 days after a petition is found valid. This would give the city a longer window to schedule those votes; no new tax is proposed.
Proposed by: Lakewood City Council (Ordinance O-2026-28)
Lakewood's elected city council approved this after a public hearing on Aug. 10, 2026. Changes to the city charter (the city's rulebook) need voter approval.
