Voters in Colorado will decide on ballot initiatives related to sex requirements for school sports teams and surgeries for transgender minors in Nov. 2026
Colorado voters will decide on two ballot measures in November 2026: one requiring school sports teams to be designated by sex, and another prohibiting gender-affirming surgeries for minors under 18. These initiatives reflect ongoing national debates over transgender rights and sports participation policies.
Key Points
- Two separate ballot measures addressing transgender-related policies in education and healthcare
- School sports designation requirement would mandate sex-based team assignments for interscholastic athletics
- Healthcare measure would ban surgeries related to gender transition for minors under 18
