Colorado 2020 Elections: Important Dates, Voter Registration

For the first time in two decades, Colorado will host a presidential primary.

All Colorado counties will oversee three elections in 2020. On March 3, or Super Tuesday, voters will cast their ballots for Republican and Democratic candidates.

Voters will also cast ballots in the June 30 Primary Election, which will determine each party's candidates for municipal, county and statewide offices.

The winners of the June primary will advance to the General Election Nov. 3, which will include qualified ballot measures, such as the gray wolf reintroduction initiative. The November election will also include judicial nominees.
