In November, 54 percent of Colorado Springs voters voted to allow existing medical dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana within city limits. But following that vote, the Colorado Springs city council voted 7-2 in January to put the issue back on the spring ballot, with Councilmembers Nancy Henjum and Yolanda Avila voting against it.

The city said it will follow the latest court order that the referred ballot measure should not be on the April ballot.

An attempt to overturn a recent citywide vote allowing recreational marijuana sales in Colorado Springs has been delayed.

In a decision made by an El Paso County Court Judge, and the Colorado Supreme Court, recreational marijuana will not be appearing on Colorado Springs municipal election ballots in April.

A district court judge has granted an emergency stay request by the City of Colorado Springs -- allowing them to proceed with placing a repeal of recreational marijuana on the April 1 ballot.

As court orders were pending over a referred ballot measure, the city missed its printing deadline to send out ballots overseas
