Results as of 11:30 p.m.: Denver's municipal elections -- where voters get to pick a mayor, city council members, the clerk and recorder, and the city auditor -- could take place in April instead of May if results for Referred Question 2H stand.
An overwhelming amount of voters so far -- 74.72% of returned ballots -- support moving the city's municipal election date.
The proposal was introduced by Clerk and Recorder Paul López to move them to May. His office wanted more time to make sure Denver Elections could prepare ballots for military and overseas voters and be compliant with state and federal laws before the June runoff elections.
The measure was placed on the ballot by the Denver City Council, which also briefly considered providing ranked-choice voting, which was another option López suggested could fix concerns over having enough time to prepare ballots.
Election results are not final until they've been certified, days or sometimes weeks after Election Day. The Associated Press is not calling races in Colorado this year, and Denverite doesn't call races. We will report vote tallies as they are counted and reported by the Denver Elections, and we will report if a group supporting or opposing a ballot measure concedes defeat.
