Gov. Jared Polis Signs New Voting Laws in Colorado

Gov. Jared Polis signed new laws on Monday aimed at protecting voting rights and reforming the process of replacing lawmakers who leave office early in Colorado.

One of the laws, officially named the Colorado Voting Rights Act, focuses on ensuring that discriminatory voting practices are not allowed in the state. The law, also known as Senate Bill 1, was introduced to safeguard voting rights amid concerns about potential rollbacks at the federal level.

Sen. Julie Gonzales, along with Reps. Junie Joseph and Jennifer Bacon, sponsored the bill to guarantee that every Coloradan can cast a ballot without facing discrimination.

The Colorado Voting Rights Act, effective Jan. 1, 2026, prohibits any “material disparity” between protected classes of voters and aims to make it easier for all individuals to participate in elections.

Additionally, Gov. Polis signed House Bill 1315, which reforms the state’s vacancy committee process for replacing legislators who resign early. The new law requires appointed legislators to run in a November election after serving a maximum of one year in office.

Another bill signed by Gov. Polis was House Bill 1225, which expands the state’s law against election intimidation to include places beyond polling locations.

These new laws are designed to protect voting rights, improve the election process, and prevent intimidation during election season in Colorado.

Key Points:

  • The Colorado Voting Rights Act, Senate Bill 1, aims to prevent discriminatory voting practices in the state.
  • House Bill 1315 reforms the process for replacing legislators who leave office early.
  • House Bill 1225 expands the state’s law against election intimidation to include additional locations.
