Denver Elections

The USPS is proposing a set of changes to mail ballots.
Those changes would create new lists of who is eligible to receive mail ballots. Here are the facts and a timeline of the proposed changes:

Ballots go out MONDAY!
The most efficient way to make sure your vote gets to us is to use any one of our 48 secure drop boxes around .
If you want to see your vote on the first round of results, vote early!

Clerk Paul López issued the following statement today after Governor Polis signed HB26-1113, which modernizes Colorado's election laws and practices, into law:

"Election procedure cleanup bills are usually routine, but in a time where bad actors are threatening the very foundations of our democratic processes, they become vital lifelines. This bill strengthens our election system by improving access, clarifying procedures, and ensuring counties have clear standards when unexpected issues arise. Our focus remains the same: every eligible voter should have a fair, clear, and secure path to the ballot and this legislation ensures that process stays resilient against outside interference.”

Thank you to everyone who came out for our fourth Cafecito this morning to talk about elections! Clerk López answered questions about access and the voting process, the upcoming June 30th State Primary Election, and addressed concerns surrounding election security and the steps our office takes to ensure accurate and secure elections.

Thank you to our hosts and our sponsors !

Earlier today, Clerk López, Deputy Clerk Sabrina Allie, and Elections Director Todd Davidson were honored to present the 2026 State Primary Election plan to members of City Council, outlining our efforts to increase access and participation citywide.

Clerk Paul López issued the following statement after Gov. Jared Polis granted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters clemency:

“Our elections are already under assault by the Trump administration and Americans deserve protectors of our democracy, not accomplices in its demise. I am disgusted by the lack of spine that Governor Polis has exhibited with this act and with his willingness to fall in line with a calculated undermining of free and fair elections.

His decision emboldens those who wish to damage our democratic process by sending the message that they can get away with it. It undermines people’s confidence in elections and the justice system, just as we are headed into a highly contested November midterm election.”

Clerk López recently connected with members of Denver Branch 47 of the National Association of Letter Carriers and attended the National Postal Forum in Phoenix, AZ recommitting to the strong partnership between Denver Elections and the postal workers that deliver ballots.

Clerk López reiterated that "letter carriers make democracy happen in Denver and across the nation. Each one of you are trusted and honored and we stand in solidarity with you. On behalf of elections workers across the nation, thank you in advance."
