What happens at the County Assembly?

Denver is a little different from other counties in that we do not have County-wide elected offices. Because we are a “City and County” the offices that would fulfill some of these duties are chosen at our Municipal elections which follow a different procedure and time line. However, Denver does make up the entirety of the 2nd Judicial District, so we do nominate candidates for District Attorney every 4 years.

The County Assembly is also where the County Party Platform is adopted (usually after substantial debate), and where we select Delegates to go to the Congressional and State Assemblies (there is also a County Convention in persidenital election years to select Delegates to the Congressional and State Conventions, but these are usually the same Delegates as the Assembly ones). Once we have completed county-wide business, the Assembly splits into the Senate and House Districts to nominate candidates for those offices.
