1. Inaccessible Technology/Documents
Survey Vendor, Market Decisions, Evaluation Surveys
The survey currently has known accessibility barriers with survey content and navigation and will require fundamental alteration and at this time poses an undue burden on our Organization.

Market Decision Survey Evaluation Reports (2002 - 2024)
- OJPE currently produces and distributes survey evaluation reports that reflect the results of each Judicial Performance Evaluation. The reports for the 2024 election year are being made accessible by the July 1st, 2025 deadline in accordance with Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-85-103 (2021). All previous election year materials including all election materials created prior to 2024 are considered not in active use. All years prior to the most recent election year will be marked as ARCHIVED to denote the webpages being classified within the organization as not in active use. Accessibility for documents created prior to 2024, additionally impose an undue burden on our Organization.
Historical Archive Scanned Documents
- Our organization currently has a significant amount of scanned historical information that is currently in a non-accessible PDF format. These documents are classified as not in active use and impose an undue burden for our organization to remediate at this current time.
