Ranked Choice Voting Briefing

5:00 -7:00 p.m.

Ranked Choice Voting is an alternative voting method that has been implemented to streamline the voting process, improve voter choice, and reduce costs. In a Ranked Choice Voting system, the voter can rank all or some of the candidates on the ballot. The subsequent processing of the ballots determines the preferred candidate based on individual rankings of the candidates. The Ranked Choice system does not guarantee that the resulting winner receives a majority of the votes; however, it does assure that the individual who is elected is the preferred candidate.
After in-depth study, the League of Women Voters of Denver developed a position in favor of offering alternative voting methods, including Ranked Choice Voting (also known as “instant runoff” voting), in appropriate situations.
Our speakers for this briefing will be Linda Templin, Executive Director at Ranked Choice Vote for Colorado; Paul Lopez, Clerk and Recorder for the City and County of Denver; and Todd Davidson, Director of Elections, City and County of Denver. Please plan to attend this in-person briefing!

Bulbs Arrival Scheduled
Our shipment of Holland bulbs is scheduled to be delivered to the City Park Greenhouse next Tuesday morning, October 17. Work will begin that day for those of you planning to work. Hopefully bulbs can be picked up on Thursday or Friday. If some of you can deliver bulbs to others, that would be a big help.
