Denver's Clerk and Recorder's office is setting the stage for an overhaul of the city's campaign finance rules. Pegged for Monday, April 28, at 2:00 P.M., a public rulemaking hearing will be held at the Denver Elections Division building, where changes to existing regulations will be opened up for discourse, the office confirmed in a recent notice. These proposed amendments follow the adoption of Council Bill 24-1676, necessitating an update to Election Rule 3 to align with the recent code changes, according to the City and County of Denver.
The revisions aim for clearer language, the elimination of dated provisions, a formal introduction of the clerk’s complaint process into the rules, and adjustments to ensure the Fair Election Fund's requirements are effectively reported and administered. Interested parties can review the full text of the proposed rules, as outlined in a preliminary draft available through the Denver government's official website, at the Denver Elections Division, or on file at the Office of the Clerk and Recorder.
The Clerk and Recorder's notice highlights the potential for further revisions before the official hearing. Should any changes occur, updated drafts will be posted online and made accessible to the public ahead of the April hearing. The intent behind this rulemaking process is to invite thorough public scrutiny and active participation, ensuring a democratic and transparent evolution of the campaign finance framework.
