The Garfield County TABOR Notice for the 2026 General Election contains all questions from all participating entities and special districts. You may not be eligible to vote on every question within these notices. To find out which questions you are eligible for, please visit GoVoteColorado.gov to find your specific sample ballot. Due to the small number of registered voters in the Eagle County School District, a secondary TABOR Notice was created for that District only.
