On Friday, October 11th, 2024, Colorado ballot issues will be examined by a panel of media and political experts hosted by CU Denver School of Public Affairs from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Pollster and Senior Fellow, Floyd Ciruli, will moderate this panel.

Direct democracy is appealing to some voters who believe there are problems legislators don’t address and a ballot initiative can be a solution. But many are concerned by the volume and complexity of the proposals, and 2024 is an example of the issue. Fourteen propositions crowd the ballot ranging from animal rights to guns and from abortion to criminal justice and education. Some, if passed, represent significant changes to public policy which is not necessarily evident in the ballot wording.

The Panel
Discussing the proposals will be:
Seth Klamann, reporter Denver Post, covering statehouse, policy and elections
Kevin Flynn, Denver City Councilman, District 2 (southwest), former Rocky Mountain news reporter
Greg Sobetski, chief economist for Legislative Council with Colorado General Assembly
Floyd Ciruli, panel moderator, pollster, Senior Fellow, CU Center School of Public Affairs
