Colorado and Washington Voters Will Decide Transgender Ballot Measures on November 3
Voters in Colorado and Washington will decide ballot measures on transgender students in school sports on November 3, 2026. Colorado voters will also weigh a ban on surgeries for minors. Ballotpedia describes Washington's sports initiative as the first statewide measure of its kind to qualify for a ballot in the United States.
Colorado Proposition 134 would require schools and colleges to label every team as male, female or coeducational. It would bar transgender students from teams that match their gender identity. If approved, it would take effect January 1, 2027. The measure does not say how a student's sex would be determined. Supporters and opponents disagree about what that means in practice.
