2020 Colorado Amendment 76
Colorado Amendment 76, also known as the Citizenship Requirement for Voting Initiative, was an initiated state statute referendum that appeared on the ballot in the U.S. state of Colorado on November 3, 2020. The measure would prohibit non-citizens from voting in Colorado elections. As it added to the Constitution of Colorado, it required the support of at least 55% of voters to pass. It was approved by 63% of voters, more than the 55% threshold required for such amendments.
Prior to Amendment 76, the Constitution of Colorado had stated that all eligible U.S. citizens were allowed to vote in elections in Colorado, which already meant non-citizens were prohibited from voting. Amendment 76 also nullified the Colorado Votes Act, which allowed 17 year olds to vote in partisan primaries if they would be 18 by the time of the general election, by restricting voting to those 18 years old or older.
