Denver 2009 Election and Ballot info

•  
• by: Dan Willis

The ballot for Denver County has been set. This year’s election will be all-mail and ballots cannot be mailed out until 22 days prior to the election (happens to fall on Columbus Day). There will be 2 service centers to assist voters who do not receive their ballots. These will be at the Election Division (3888 E. Mexico Ave.) and the Webb Bldg (15th St. & Court Pl.) For info on those locations or any other questions about Denver Elections, see: DenverVotes.org

We will be voting on members to the Denver Public Schools Board of Education and on one ballot question. The DPS positions up this year one of the At-Large seats, and Districts 2, 3, and 4.

Ballot certification will happen on Friday, Sept. 4th. There is a challenge to the ballot issue pending, and will hopefully be decided by that time.
