Why no on question 2A?

the broomfield city council took a straightforward ballot question and twisted it to give them power to silence your voice in recall elections.

The Broomfield Charter Review Committee recommended that voters be asked to change how our local elections are managed under our city’s Charter from “municipal elections” to “coordinated elections” as defined under the Colorado State Constitution, with some minor changes related to recall elections.

The Broomfield City Council took the recommendation from the Charter Review Committee a step further and interjected their own language asking you to give them the ability to control and restrict how city council recall elections are conducted. If Question 2A is passed, the Broomfield City Council will be able to define what is recallable by passing a city ordinance. In short, they will decide if they can be recalled, and then appoint who they choose if a recall is successful.

With their twist on Question 2A, the City Council is asking you to give up your voice and your ability to recall them and elect those who represent you if the recall is successful.

They work for you, and serve you based on your consent through democratic elections. If Question 2A is passed, you will lose your voice and your right to recall the very city councilmembers that are trying to protect their power through this measure.

Protect your vote. Vote no on Question 2A.
