Colorado Tradeoffs

Before you vote, see what your choices could mean.
We want to help you understand not just what’s on the ballot, but what could happen afterward. Colorado Tradeoffs lets you test the choices, see the budget implications, and decide how you would respond.
Give it a try below. It takes less than 10 minutes.
When you finish, you’ll see how your choices lined up against everyone else’s. You’ll also have the chance to sign up for a conversation with Coloradans from other parts of the state about how they marked their ballot and where they put the money. The meeting is optional — you can do the simulation and skip it.
A few things people tend to ask. The simulation doesn’t take a side on any of the three measures, and the content was reviewed for neutrality before it went up. It isn’t a poll or a vote, and it has no bearing on the election. Your individual answers stay private, and results are reported only in aggregate.
