Arvada Presidential Primary 2020: Deadlines, Sample Ballots

ARVADA, CO — Elections officials in Jefferson and Adams counties have issued lists of important deadlines for the upcoming presidential primary. Both counties will oversee three elections in 2020.

On March 3 — Super Tuesday — voters will cast their ballots for Democrat and Republican candidates.

Elections officials are encouraging Coloradans to make sure they are registered to vote and that their voter registration is up to date.

On Jan. 18, ballots were mailed to all military and overseas voters. Monday was the last day for voters who are registered with a political party to change that affiliation or register as unaffiliated in order to receive the corresponding ballot. Now, anyone registered as a Democrat will receive a Democrat ballot and registered Republicans will receive a Republican ballot. Voters who are registered as unaffiliated will receive both ballots, but can only return one.
