Electioneering Near Polling Places
Electioneering is not permitted within one hundred feet of any polling place. This includes handouts, yard signs, banners, buttons, tee shirts and any other item that names or promotes your cause. Any person in violation of this provision commits a misdemeanor.
 
Campaign workers should understand that polling places are hosted at a wide variety of public and private properties. Electioneering beyond the 100-foot mark at any given polling place is subject to the rules of the particular property owner. Property rights should be respected.

Term Limits for Municipal Officeholders

Section 8.2.6 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code limits Denver's elected officials (Mayor, Clerk and Recorder, Auditor, City Council Members at Large and City Council Members) to three consecutive four year terms in their respective offices. The Denver District Attorney is technically a state Judicial Officer. In 2007, Denver voters approved a ballot measure to make the District Attorney term limits consistent with those in Section 8.2.6.

All of Denver's elected officials are up for election every four years. There are no staggered terms. The next Municipal Election for Denver's elected officials will be May 3, 2011 unless there is a need for a Special Election in the interim.
