Make A Plan To Vote Early for November 5th Election | |
|
Dear Denver neighbors,
First and foremost, I want to thank those of you who voted in our State Primary Election. Return data for June’s primary election shows a 22.51% voter turnout rate with a total of 98,666 ballots. Unfortunately, voter turnout in Denver, and our neighboring counties was low, averaging only about 20-30%. While state primary elections historically see low voter turnout, it’s simply no excuse. Every single election matters, and we must do better to increase voter participation. The future of our city and democracy depends on it.

A lot of preparation goes into every election and we could not do it without our dedicated Denver Elections Division team and citizen elections workers. They made it possible to carry out another smooth and successful election with perfect audit results and no discrepancies. | |
Also, exciting things are also happening on the Recording & Public Trustee side of our office! Our Records team is working to increase public accessibility to important and historic public records through a innovative digitizing project. Check out our “Record of the Month” YouTube series to learn about cool and unique Denver public records. | |
