Voter sentiment on Colorado's Initiative 108 remains closely balanced at 53.5% for passage, reflecting broad public backing for elevating penalties on child sex trafficking to a mandatory life sentence without parole while facing organized opposition over mandatory minimums and the measure's origins. The citizen-initiated statute, which qualified for the November 2026 ballot after Protect Kids Colorado gathered sufficient signatures, builds on existing class 2 felony treatment by adding specific acts and shifting to a class 1 felony with no release option. Competitive dynamics stem from typical strong voter support for child protection policies alongside criminal justice concerns and critiques that the proposal serves wider political aims from its backers. Developments likely to shift odds include emerging statewide polling, endorsements from law enforcement or victims' groups, campaign spending on both sides, and any late-session legislative alternatives that could influence turnout or framing ahead of Election Day.
