DENVER - Records containing personal information on more than 150,000 
voters are missing at city election offices, and officials are trying to 
determine if the files were lost, moved or stolen.

The Denver Election Commission is also trying to figure out why officials 
didn't learn the records were missing until June 1, even though they are 
believed to have disappeared nearly four months earlier.

"We will get to the bottom of it," commission spokesman Alton Dillard told 
the Rocky Mountain News in Saturday's editions.

Police were notified about the missing records Saturday. The microfilmed 
voter registration files from 1989 to 1998 were in a 500-pound cabinet 
that disappeared when the commission moved to new offices in February. The 
files contain voters' Social Security numbers, addresses and other 
personal information.
