Where the local questions come from
- El Paso's ten local questions from the certified sample ballot
- The county's public safety sales tax question as the county published it before the ballot; the ballot's 1A matches it word for word
- The county's public safety sales tax question as the county published it before the ballot; the ballot's 1A matches it word for word
- Colorado Springs School District 11's bond question as the district's signed, sealed resolution states it. El Paso's certified sample ballot, posted 2026-09-18, prints this question word for word (see also_current below), so 4A is the county's printed designation and no longer the district's own (seat, 2026-09-18)
