Ballot Question 201 asks voters to choose one of two methods for electing a five-member Douglas County Board of Commissioners. The choice applies only if voters approve the expansion under Question 200.
Under the first method, each voter would vote only in their district's commissioner election. Under the second, district voters would elect three commissioners, and voters across the county would elect two at large. Each voter could vote for a district commissioner and both at-large commissioners.
Today each of the three commissioners must live in a district, but voters across the whole county elect all three, the county says. Supporters of the petition have argued that under countywide voting the large population centers set the county's representation, and smaller communities lack a commissioner answerable to them, Colorado Politics reported.
The proposal came from a voter petition. The county commissioners set its ballot title on August 28, 2026, through Resolution R-026-061, which also reworded the two choices. The county's cost analysis plans on districts being redrawn in 2027 and a five-member board taking office in 2029.
