2020:
We have a busy – and confusing – presidential election year coming up! Colorado decided to hold Presidential Primaries, rather than caucuses, so that more people could participate AND so that Colorado would be early enough in the decision-making season to have more influence. However (weirdly), there will still be caucuses for non-Presidential candidates – like for Colorado’s US Senate seat – AND a primary for non-Presidential candidates as well.
Don’t worry, everyone’s confused. Look at this way: YOU really DO get to vote more than just one time!
February 7 – Last day to affiliate or change affiliation to a major party if you wish to caucus on March 7.
February 10 – Ballots for Primary Mailed
March 3 – Presidential Primary Ballots DUE
All registered voters (as of February 3) will receive a presidential primary ballot. Democrats will receive one for Dem nominees; Unaffiliated voters will receive two (D and R) but may vote only one.
