Since Denver’s Mayor Michael Hancock is term-limited, twenty-one people have thrown their hat into ring. That number has been reduced to 17 as of Feb. 28, 2023. I listed the each candidates official campaign web site at the end of this article. As of April 1, 2023 the number of candidates is 16, as Kwame Spearman withdrew from the election.
I have created example ballot of ranked-choice voting using the mayoral candidates for experiment in instant runoff voting. You can try this out (you don’t need to live in Denver and this is not a real election) by going to Ballot: Denver Mayoral Election 2023 and enter your name. Please only vote once, but feel free to give your friends the link or QR code below.
The results will be release on April 4, 2023, 7:20 PM. A link will be provided here for the results when released.
