A proposed change to the Denver City Council’s at-large elections was leading in early returns. As of 7 p.m., 57 percent of voters had supported the measure with 92,972 ballots counted.

Referred Question 2G would introduce significant changes for the council’s at-large seats, which represent the entire city instead of just a district.

The city has two at-large council seats. Currently, all the candidates for those seats run in a single race. The top two vote-getters take office.

The new process would create two separate races, A and B, with voters selecting only one candidate in each race. Candidates would have to earn at least 50 percent of the vote to win, with runoff elections if necessary. In the current system, candidates can take office with just less than 20 percent of the vote.
