Description

The question in this case is whether sections 14-12(b) and 14-13(b) of the City Code of Aurora, which require a qualified registered elector who signs a referendum petition to print his or her name after the signature and other information pertaining to residence and to designate the date of signing the petition, impose unconstitutional restrictions on the power of referendum reserved to the people by article V, section 1 of the Colorado Constitution. The district court invalidated several portions of the ordinances as facially unconstitutional and held that the city clerk improperly relied upon them in invalidating various signatures on a referendum petition directed to suspending the operation of a municipal tax. We conclude that the Aurora ordinances are not facially unconstitutional as violative of the right of referendum guaranteed by the Colorado constitution, and, therefore, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case to that court for further proceedings.
