Ballot question (Colorado)

From Ballotpedia

A ballot question as it is defined by the Colorado Legislative Council is "a proposition which is in the form of a question meeting the requirements of Section 20 (3) (c) of article X of the state constitution, but which does not refer to specific state legislation or a specific amendment to the state constitution."^[1]

The term in used to distinguish a certain type of ballot measure that is referred to the ballot by the Colorado State Legislature from two other types of referrals:

• A "ballot question" is not a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment.
• A "ballot question" is not a legislatively-referred state statute.
