Thank you for standing up for democracy, Denver!

On Monday, Nov. 3, Denver City Council voted unanimously to restore full funding to the Denver Clerk & Recorder with the funds necessary to run two high turnout elections in 2026. The budget submitted by council is awaiting final action by Mayor Johnston. This unanimous decision by council sends a powerful message that Denver elections are important, sacred and vital for the future of democracy.  

Your Voice Made the Difference!

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the many community members who spoke at Monday’s Denver City Council meeting on Oct. 27, and to the more than 800 constituents who signed our petition! 


Your message to City Council was clear and powerful: Protect Elections. Defend Democracy. Fund the Clerk & Recorder's 2026 Budget. 


We are deeply appreciative of every voice that rose in support of our mission. Thank you.  

Thank you to Our Partners!

We would like to thank our partners who sent letters to city council and Mayor Johnston, requesting our 2026 budget be adequately funded.


Your voices were instrumental in ensuring our office receives the budget necessary to run two high turnout elections in 2026. Thank you.

Thank you, City Council!

City Council’s unanimous vote to fund our office for 2026 is a powerful statement of support for democracy. It reaffirms the vital role that independent offices play in serving the people of Denver and protecting the integrity of our elections—especially at a time when elections nationwide face increasing scrutiny and attack.


Thank you, Denver City Council, for standing up for democracy and the voters of our city.

Don't forget to vote today!


While we're celebrating this win, it's important to remember today is Election Day! You can vote until 7 p.m. at any of our vote centers or drop boxes across the city. Democracy doesn't take a year off and neither should you. See you at the ballot box!
