This is an all-time record high in Denver election history. 

The Office of the Denver Clerk and Recorder implores voters to review and return ballots early. The sooner ballots are returned, the sooner they can be processed and counted. While election results won’t be available until 7 p.m. on Election Day, ballots returned early will be counted and included in the initial unofficial results on election night.
