DENVER, CO – Are you voting early or do you love the excitement of voting on election day? Can you still register to vote? Patch has compiled helpful links and info for the upcoming Colorado primary on June 26. Candidates are vying for their party's nominations for the midterm election in November.

Up for grabs are Democrat and Republican party nominations for governor and other statewide offices, congressional primaries, Colorado state legislature and county-wide offices.
