Colorado voters to decide on plain-language ballot measure rule
Original: Colorado voters will decide whether ballot measures must be understandable to an 8th grader https:// lemmy.zip/post/7271
Colorado voters will decide whether future ballot measures must be written so they are understandable to an 8th grader. The proposal would require plain-language summaries for initiatives put before the public. Supporters see it as a way to make direct democracy more accessible, while critics may question how readability standards would be applied and enforced.
Why now: Voters are weighing a proposed readability requirement for ballot measures, a novel change to how initiatives are presented.
