Keep and Spend Money for Education and Other Purposes. 2026 results by county, from Colorado's official results file: Yes 57.1%, No 42.9% statewide.

Statewide

Ballot title: Shall state investment in K-12 public education increase two percent each year for the next ten years, with investments used to increase teacher pay, improve teacher retention, lower class sizes, and increase access to career and technical courses, without raising taxes but instead funded by raising the annual limit on state fiscal year spending only by the amount spent on public K-12 education as a voter-approved revenue change, and requiring an annual publicly released, independent audit to show how the new investments are spent?
