The primary election is June 30th – do you have a plan to vote? 

What is a Primary Election?
The Primary Election is when we decide who will be the Democratic candidate for the general election in November. This year’s election includes statewide candidates (Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Treasurer). It also includes the race for US Senator, CU Regent for our Congressional District, US Representative, State Senate, and Colorado House of Representatives. See below for more information about candidates who will be on the Democratic Primary ballot.

Who Votes in a Primary Election?
If you are a voter who is a registered Democrat, you will receive the ballot for the Democratic primary. Registered Republican voters receive the ballot for the Republican primary. Unaffiliated voters receive both the Democratic and Republican primary ballots but they can only vote one of those ballots.
