Colorado’s 2024 presidential primary is Tuesday, March 5, also known as Super Tuesday. 16 states and one district will vote in the U.S. presidential primary election.
It is the biggest day in this year’s primary campaign.
By now it is too late to mail your ballot. Ballots must be dropped off by 7 p.m. or you must be in line to vote in person by 7 p.m.
There are more than 400 drop boxes available around Colorado. You can find them here.
Colorado also allows people to register to vote until 7 p.m. on election day. You’ll need to register in person at a polling place where you’ll then get a ballot and be able to vote. Find more information here.
If you need to register to vote, check, or change your voter registration, the state’s election website is GoVoteColorado.gov.
Voters who vote in person at the polls must bring identification. Find acceptable forms of identification from the Secretary of State here.

Who can vote?
Registered Democrats can vote in the Democratic presidential primary and registered Republicans can vote in the Republican presidential primary.
Unaffiliated voters may cast a ballot for either the Democratic or Republican political party but not both. If an unaffiliated voter returns a ballot for more than one political party, both ballots will be rejected.
You can trace your mail-in ballot through BallotTrax, the state’s tracking system.
You can also vote in person at a polling center. You must be in line by 7 p.m. to cast a vote.
