In re Title, Ballot Title, and Submission Clause for Proposed Initiatives 2025–2026 Nos. 240, 327.

2026 CO 57. Nos. 26SA126 & 26SA153. Single Subject.

June 29, 2026


The supreme court held that both proposed Initiative #240 and proposed Initiative #327 encompass multiple subjects in violation of article V, § 1(5.5) of the Colorado Constitution and CRS § 1-40-106.5. Initiative #240 and Initiative #327 violate the single subject requirement by combining (1) temporary changes to the current congressional redistricting process and (2) specific new congressional district maps for the 2028 and 2030 election cycles.

The court reversed the actions of the Title Board and remanded these matters to the board with directions to strike the titles, ballot titles, and submission clauses of each initiative and to return the initiatives to their proponents.
