Almost 50 names will appear on the City of Denver’s April 4 ballot across several different municipal offices. The 17 candidates remaining for mayor (there was as many as 26) will be accompanied by nine city council at-large candidates and 23 others in an election that features three uncontested races, so far. 

Candidates were required to submit their petitions to the City and County of Denver’s Election Division by 5 p.m. on Jan. 19. The Clerk and Recorder will have a finalized list available by Feb. 3.
