Public invited to submit written comments from Sept. 1 to 18 on city’s 2026 TABOR ballot questions for TABOR Notice

Members of the public will have an opportunity to provide input on three Nov. 3, 2026, TABOR ballot questions in Aurora.

From Sept. 1 to 18, the Aurora City Clerk's Office will accept comments for and against questions for publication in the Ballot Issue Notice.

The three TABOR ballot questions in Aurora relate to:
• Dedicated sales tax for community facilities
• Dedicated sales tax for public safety infrastructure and facilities
• Dedicated sales tax for transportation infrastructure and facilities

The complete ballot questions and the comment forms are available at EngageAurora.org/BallotComments. Anyone who wishes to submit a comment must be registered on Engage Aurora as a participant (click on Register at the top of the website to create a login or log in if you are already registered).

The deadline to submit comments is noon Friday, Sept. 18. Only comments from registered electors of the city of Aurora will be included in the summaries. Comments filed separately with the County Clerk's Office will not be summarized.

Colorado law requires local governments to prepare and distribute an election notice, referred to as a TABOR Notice, for ballot questions that are subject to the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR). The TABOR Notice provides important information about each ballot question, including the official ballot language and summaries of arguments for and against the measure.

The City Clerk prepares the official notice, and the counties mail one copy to every household with an active registered voter and posts it on their respective websites. The notice also will be available on the city's website. For more information, contact the City Clerk's Office at 303.739.7094 or [email protected].
