The Magellan Ballot Measure Survey
Measure Voter Support and Tell Your Organization’s Story
Our team has decades of experience managing research projects that accurately measure voter support and opposition levels for a wide range of government funding ballot measures, policies, and initiatives. Since 2007, we have helped government organizations educate and inform voters of the reasons why a funding ballot measure is being considered. Understanding the best path and practices for achieving voter approval takes many years to develop. That is why our team has developed a proven ballot measure survey method that we share with our government clients. Additionally, we can consult your organization regarding different types of tax increases, the hierarchy of government services that voters are willing to pay for, good and bad ballot language, and community engagement best practices.

Survey Your Residents & Voters on Local Policies and Proposals
A ballot measure survey is more than just measuring voter support and opposition for a sales or property tax increase. A ballot measure survey is the most effective method a government organization can use to educate and inform their residents and voters about the reasons why new revenue is needed for core services, capital projects, and other needs.

What Our Government Clients Say
“Mesa County hired Magellan Strategies in 2021 to manage a ballot measure survey measuring voter support and opposition for potential TABOR refund solutions from the county. They did a great job helping us tell our story to voters about why the county needed to use different funding sources to pay the TABOR refund to voters within the county. We were very pleased with their polling services, as they helped us move forward with the ballot measure.”
Cody Davis
Mesa County Commissioner
“The Town of Erie hired Magellan Strategies twice to gauge public sentiment on two important ballot measures – once in 2021 with a focus on Home Rule governance, and once in 2022 with a focus on possible extension or increase to an open space tax. Their professionalism and expertise was instrumental in collecting statistically significant data that was shared with our Board. Without that detailed data, those measures may not have even made it on the ballot. We were very pleased with their polling services, as they helped us successfully move forward with both ballot measures that ultimately passed.”
Gabi Rae
Director of Communications & Community Engagement
“Our experience working with Magellan Strategies for our Public Safety and Streets Tax measures was tremendous. From working with us to determine our needs, to developing a survey instrument to get the true feel of our community, to helping us interpret and use the final results, David Flaherty and his team were great to work with. We would definitely hire them for our future needs.”
