Who is Gonna Win in Denver's Slow Turnout Election?

• by: Colorado Pols

The race for Denver Mayor — and other municipal offices — is down to its final days. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 4, which means that if you still have a ballot sitting on your counter at home, DO NOT put it in the mail at this point (CLICK HERE for more information on where to return your ballot).

Ballot returns thus far in Denver are still not great. Of the 453,512 ballots sent out in Denver, just 40,826 had been returned as of today — a rate of about 9 percent. As you can see from the map below via the Denver Elections Division, Denver voters seem to be holding onto the ballots no matter where they live:

We’ve told you how we think the race for Denver Mayor might play out. With so many votes still up for grabs, campaigns with strong field programs look to have a massive advantage heading into the final weekend of the race.

If you’re already tired of this race, the good news is that 14 of the candidates for Denver Mayor will be done on Tuesday. The bad news is that the top two vote getters will move to a June 6 runoff election.

Anyway, it’s time for another poll! As always with our totally non-scientific polls, we want to know who you THINK is most likely to happen. We don’t want to know who you support or might prefer as a candidate — we want your informed political opinion to help us predict which candidates everyone will be talking about one week from today:
