(COLORADO SPRINGS) — In accordance with decisions by both the Colorado Supreme Court and a district court in El Paso County, a controversial repeal of recreational marijuana in Colorado Springs will not appear on the April 2025 municipal election ballot.
On Thursday, Feb. 13, the Colorado Supreme Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over the matter, and the district court in El Paso County sided with the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the City of Colorado Springs.
In its decision, the district court stated “the City shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Referred Ballot Question does not appear on ballots to avoid disenfranchising and confusing the electorate.”
The City confirmed that the repeal of Ballot Question 300 would not appear on the April 2025 ballot, though the deadline for printing and mailing overseas and active-duty military ballots has been pushed back. Ballots will now be mailed overseas on Tuesday, Feb. 18.
