Legal Docket
In this lawsuit involving a challenge to whether a proposed initiative should be placed on the ballot, the ACLU of Colorado filed an amicus brief with the Colorado Supreme Court.
A Colorado statute provides that persons on parole—approximately 6000 in Colorado—are forbidden to vote or to register to vote. C.R.S. § 1-2-103(4). This class action, on behalf of approximately 6000 Colorado parolees, asserts that this statute violates the Colorado Constitution.
After Congress enacted the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in 2002, Colorado passed legislation to implement HAVA’s requirements.
