Each year, the Colorado Talking Book Library records an alternative audio version of the State Ballot Information Booklet (Blue Book) for the Legislative Council of the Colorado General Assembly. For anyone needing a text version of the Blue Book, please visit the Legislative Council’s website
This booklet provides information on the statewide measures on the ballot. Each statewide measure receives an analysis that includes a description of the measure and major arguments for and against. Careful consideration has been given to the arguments in an effort to fairly represent both sides of the issue. Each analysis also includes an estimate of the fiscal impact of the measure. More information on the fiscal impact of measures can be found on the Colorado General Assembly Website. The state constitution requires that the nonpartisan research staff of the General Assembly prepare these analyses and distribute them in a ballot information booklet to registered voter households.
