A big field. And big decisions to make.

Updated: Jun 6, 2023


Municipal Voter Guide - Democratic Party of Denver

The Denver municipal election is almost here. Are you prepared?


On April 4, 2023, Denver voters will decide, among other things, who will be our n


ext mayor and who will be seated on the Denver City Council. Let’s run some numbers:

  • At 17 candidates, the mayoral race is the largest field in some 40 years

  • Out of 13 City Council seats overall, there are five open seats, including Districts 4, 7, 8 and two at-large seats

  • Eight incumbent members are seeking re-election to City Council

  • And there’s more: We’ll also vote on Clerk and Recorder and City Auditor, plus three Council-referred Measures.

  • It’s a lot to take in. In fact, when elections are this busy, it’s easy to tune it all out. But remember: especially in a crowded field, your vote is vital! Here’s how you can break it all down.

  • Make sure you’re registered to vote at GoVoteColorado.org.

  • Find your Council district.

  • Check out a sample ballot.

  • The Party has not taken a position on any of the ballot measures. The Denver Democratic Central Committee considered taking a position on Referred Question 2O (Park Hill Golf Course easement) but voted to not take a position.

  • Vote for Democrats. Listed below are the Democrats running for office (listed in ballot order):
