"We are on," said Paul López, Denver Elections Division clerk and recorder. "Voters have already received their voter information booklets and hopefully have already started to talk to their friends and family and neighbors about the impact of the election."

López said it's important that municipal elections such as this one receive the same attention from voters and scrutiny from election monitors as national elections: "It's a local election with a mile high impact."
