2024 Colorado Amendment I is a proposed amendment to the Colorado Constitution that will appear on the general election ballot on November 5, 2024, in Colorado. If the measure passes, it would allow judges to deny bail to individuals accused of first degree murder in cases where there is enough evidence for the judge to presume the defendant will eventually be convicted. As the ballot measure would modify the state Constitution, it requires a 55% majority to pass.[1]
