The Legislative Council Staff is required to prepare a ballot information booklet prior to each election in which a statewide issue will appear on the ballot. The purpose of the booklet is to provide voters with the text, title, and a fair and impartial analysis of each initiated or referred constitutional amendment, law, or question on the ballot.

A number of states have investigated and/or tried dynamic modeling. While a few states are continuing to use the models, the results in those states and others suggest that dynamic modeling is unlikely to provide beneficial information for making policy decisions in Colorado, especially relative to its cost.
