How to Participate ~ including 17-year-olds.
Colorado will hold its first Presidential Primary Election in two decades on March 3, 2020 – Super Tuesday! Political parties still hold party caucuses in March, check your local party website, and Colorado still has a primary for statewide and local candidates in June. But ballots for the stand-alone Presidential Primary are mailed to voters beginning February 10. Here is what you need to know to participate:
• Presidential primaries in Colorado are only held by the Democratic and Republican Parties. You must be registered as a Democrat, Republican, or Unaffiliated to participate.
• Registered Democrats receive only the Democratic Party ballot.
Registered Republicans receive only the Republican Party ballot. Unaffiliated voters are mailed both ballots but can only vote and return one. New! Voters who will turn 18-years-old by the General Election, Tuesday, November 3, 2020, can now Vote in primaries. There is no registration deadline. You can register and vote up to and including Election Day.
If you have a Colorado Driver’s License or State ID, you can register to vote or check your registration at www.GoVoteColorado.gov. If you do not have a license or state ID, you can register by mail (downloadable form online at govotecolorado.gov) or in-person at any Boulder County Clerk & Recorder’s office (Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette).
