## Key points

- Four states are voting on sports eligibility measures.
- Washington and Colorado could adopt statewide restrictions.
- Washington’s measure has a 64% market-implied chance of passing.

## Summary

Arizona, Nebraska, Washington and Colorado are voting on measures that would affect who can compete in girls’ and women’s sports, with possible implications for locker-room access in some cases. The results could strengthen existing restrictions in Arizona and Nebraska, while introducing statewide sex-based eligibility rules in Washington and Colorado, where current policies allow participation based on gender identity.

Washington’s Initiative 638 would bar students defined as biologically male from girls’ K-12 interscholastic sports and require documentation verifying sex; a “no” vote would preserve current rules. Colorado’s Proposition 134 would set sex-based participation requirements from K-12 through college across public, charter and private schools, with some exceptions, and leave verification policies to schools. The article says opponents warn of discrimination and invasive checks, while supporters argue sex can be verified through routine sports physicals or cheek swabs; it gives a 64% market-implied chance of Washington’s measure passing.
