Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, November 10, 2026 — A petition is circulating in Colorado, driven by proponents of three voter-approved ballot measures, calling for their immediate implementation as passed by voters. The petition specifically targets Governor-elect Phil Weiser and the state legislature, urging them to enact Propositions 133, 134, and 135 without any legislative amendments.
The initiative comes amid stated concerns from Governor-elect Weiser regarding the potential need for legislative adjustments to certain measures. Weiser has indicated that some of the propositions may require modifications to ensure proper administrability and address privacy considerations.
Proponents of the ballot measures, however, are advocating for strict adherence to the original text approved by voters. Their petition emphasizes the importance of respecting the electorate’s decision and implementing the measures precisely as they were passed, directly opposing any legislative alterations.
The specific nature of the concerns raised by Governor-elect Weiser, and the exact legislative adjustments he suggested, were not detailed in the provided summary. Similarly, the timeline for the petition’s launch and its current status, including the number of signatures collected or a specific deadline for submission, were not stated. The names of the organizations or individuals leading the petition effort were also not provided.
This situation highlights a common point of discussion following statewide votes on complex policy issues, where the practical application of ballot initiatives can sometimes encounter administrative challenges or unforeseen implications. The resolution will depend on the ongoing dialogue between the proponents of the measures, the Governor-elect’s office, and the state legislature.
