Colorado Voters to Decide on Graduated Income Tax and TABOR Cap Increase for Education Funding

Colorado voters will consider two ballot initiatives on November 3, 2026, that could significantly impact education funding. Amendment 87 proposes a graduated income tax to dedicate new revenue to K-12 public schools, healthcare, and childcare. Proposition NN seeks to increase the TABOR revenue cap, allocating approximately $4.6 billion in surplus funds for K-12 education expenses, including teacher pay and class size reduction.
