This year was particularly eventful for our Denver Elections Division. Our team successfully administered four, flawless elections, including the historic 2024 Presidential General Election, which featured one of the longest ballots in Denver history. Together, more than 900 election workers and staff processed and counted 1,104,293 ballot cards for a total turnout of 77 percent. We held roundtables and town halls throughout Denver to prepare folks on what to expect for ensuring a secure, accessible and fair election.
Our Recording and Public Trustee Divisions also had a very productive and successful year. In February, to celebrate the month of love, we held our 12th annual Burnin’ Love Marriage Marathon. I suited up in my Elvis best and together with the team, married nearly a dozen Denver couples on the stairs of the City & County of Building.
Our Recording unit has also made great strides in digitizing public records this year. When complete, this project will ensure that important public records are maintained and electronically accessible for generations to come. Additionally, our County Recording Division team is excited to announce the upcoming launch of a new, easy-to-use online eRecording portal. This new eSubmission and eRecording functionality will provide a simple, efficient, and innovative way for title companies and government agencies to directly submit electronic recordings to Denver County.
As we near the end of 2024, now is a time for reflection, strategizing, and planning. As we look ahead, we remain focused on our goal of strengthening and expanding the ways in which we serve you. Together, we can continue building a Denver where all voices are heard and everyone has access to the tools they need to thrive.
Our mission is to serve the people of the City and County of Denver by ensuring that key services—ranging from elections and marriage records to real estate documentation and the foreclosure process—are available and easily navigable for every individual.
In solidarity,
