The National Popular Vote guarantees the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states. During the 2019 legislative session the Colorado legislature passed, and Governor Polis signed the National Popular Vote into law (SB19-042).

The funding will initially be used to provide relief to state budget cuts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and would then give every child in Colorado access to free early childhood education.
