LWV POSITIONS ON THE BALLOT ISSUES
While the League is non-partisan (we do not support or oppose any political party or candidate), the League advocates on issues. As a result, the League may choose to support, oppose, or take no stance on various ballot issues.
Read our Boulder County LWV positions on the county and municipal ballot issues.
We support Boulder County issues 1A and 1B, City of Boulder 2A, Lafayette 2A, and Longmont 2A.
We are neutral on the remaining proposals.

JUDGES ON THE BALLOT
In Colorado, voters are asked on the ballot whether a judge should be retained or not retained. A citizens' committee evaluates judges' performance in their present judgeship and makes recommendations to voters.
You can read about the system and see the citizens' committee recommendations at the site Know Your Judge.
On the November 2014 ballot, voters will vote whether to retain two justices of the Colorado Supreme Court, two judges of the Court of Appeals, and nine Boulder County judges in the district and county courts. Full information is available here.
Information on judicial retention is also available in the Blue Book which is mailed to every household.
