The Office of the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Elections Division has published the Ballot Information Booklet for the upcoming General Election. Similar to the State’s Blue Book, the Denver booklet details information about Denver-specific ballot measures and includes public comments in favor of and opposed to the measures. Voters can expand their knowledge about Denver-specific ballot measures, which will help in making informed decisions this election.
Denver is required by law to print and mail all tax issues to every active registered voter’s household, known as the Ballot Issue Notice. This year, Denver measures that are not tax issues will appear in the Ballot Information Booklet which can be found online. This change is saving taxpayers nearly $200,000 in printing and mailing costs. Voters who prefer a printed version of those measures can pick one up at any Denver Public Library branch, any of the 39 Voter Service and Polling Centers across the city, or at the Denver Elections Division main office at 200 W. 14th Ave. Voters can also request one be mailed to them by contacting us via email at elections@denvervotes.org or by phone at 720-913-VOTE.
“By moving non-tax measures online, it allows us to continue to be proper stewards of taxpayer funds, of our environmental impact, and our duty to ensure everyone has the information they need to research and return their ballots.” says Denver Clerk and Recorder Paul López. “I also want to recognize our partnership with the Denver Public Library and thank them for working with us to increase access to the democratic process.”
The Ballot Issue Notice, which includes tax-related measures were mailed to registered voters on Friday, Oct. 4, in advance of ballots being mailed out on Oct. 11. The Office of the Denver Clerk and Recorder encourages Denver voters to return their ballots early using of the city’s 45 secure, 24/7 drop boxes, by mail with two first class postage stamps, or in person at a Voter Service and Polling Center.
