What is Proposition 129?
Proposition 129 is a proposed amendment to the Colorado Constitution that would require state legislative candidates to gather a certain number of signatures from voters in their district in order to appear on the ballot. The measure would also create a new independent redistricting commission that would be responsible for drawing the boundaries of state legislative districts.
Why is Proposition 129 important?
Proposition 129 is important because it would make it more difficult for fringe candidates to appear on the ballot and would give voters a greater say in who represents them in the state legislature. The measure would also help to ensure that state legislative districts are drawn in a fair and impartial manner.
What are the arguments for and against Proposition 129?
Supporters of Proposition 129 argue that it would increase the accountability of state legislators to their constituents and would help to ensure that the state legislature is more representative of the people of Colorado. Opponents of the measure argue that it would make it more difficult for independent and minor party candidates to appear on the ballot and would give too much power to the new independent redistricting commission.
What is the current status of Proposition 129?
Proposition 129 is currently being circulated for signatures. If enough signatures are gathered, the measure will appear on the ballot in November 2023.
