On Nov. 21, Denver Elections staff completed the canvass and certification of the 2025 Coordinated Election, officially bringing the Nov. 4 election to a close.

The canvass is a post-election process that compares the number of votes recorded in the statewide registration system with the number of ballots counted in Denver’s tabulation system. With the completion of the canvass and certification, the 2025 Coordinated Election is now complete, and all results are final and official.

Denver Elections Division conducted a successful post-election Risk-Limiting Audit (RLA) on Nov. 18, 2025. Our team audited 213 ballot cards this RLA, and all were confirmed accurate with zero discrepancies. This post-election audit helps verify that the equipment and procedures used to count votes functioned correctly and that the election produced accurate outcomes. 

Denver voters approved Referred Question 2G, which changes the City Council At-Large office into two separate seats called City Council At-Large A and City Council At-Large B beginning in the 2027 election. This process is administered by the Denver Clerk & Recorder’s office. Candidates who previously filed to run At-Large must submit an updated affidavit choosing which seat they want to run for. All campaign finance and petition rules stay the same.

Record of the Month is a show that highlights significant public records illuminating important pieces of Denver’s rich history. This month, we honor the legacy of Lena Archuleta, a lifelong educator who became the first Mexican American female principal in Denver Public Schools.  

This month, the Employee Engagement Committee is proud to recognize Lina Ramirez, Administrative Support Assistant, as this month's GOAT! The following was included in Lina's nomination: 



“Lina works hard to ensure that every constituent has an amazing experience during their marriage appointment. She even helps them take photos and video of their appointment when requested. Her kindness and enthusiasm are a welcome change from what most people expect when they come to a government office. In addition, she tries to help out with any projects or work that needs to be done in the office and never complains. She is an absolute joy to work with on a daily basis!” 

Please join us in congratulating Lina! The Denver Clerk & Recorder’s GOAT Award is our version of an Employee of the Month recognition, honoring team members who consistently demonstrate exceptional performance, reliability, dedication to public service and a strong work ethic. Recipients are nominated and selected by their coworkers.  

Clerk López opened the polls for the 2025 Coordinated Election Day on Nov. 4 with the support of West High School’s all-female color guard, which performed a Posting of the Colors ceremony. As a West High School alumni, Clerk López was especially proud, as it underscores the importance establishing a culture of participation amongst our youth.  

On Oct. 31, the Denver Clerk & Recorder hosted the Denver Cafecito and former Clerk & Recorder Rosemary Rodriguez for a briefing and tour ahead of the 2025 Coordinated Election. Clerk López provided an update on the state of Denver Elections, discussed preparations for the 2026 primary and midterm elections, and overview of the elections landscape nationally. Attendees also had the opportunity to view Denver’s ballot processing areas first-hand! 

The Denver Clerk & Recorder partnered with Denver Families to host two family-friendly community events that featured local leaders, interactive activities, and a community panel. Attendees reviewed ballot measures from a nonpartisan perspective, reviewed key election deadlines, registered to vote, and explored multiple ways to be civically engaged. 

Democracy works best when it’s personal, accessible, and rooted in community. We are deeply committed to staying connected with the people of Denver—listening, learning, and sharing how our office serves residents every day.
