Who’s been thinking about the 2024 elections? In Colorado, we start with the Caucuses – both Democratic and Republican. 

The Republican Caucus is Thurs, March 7 at 7:00 PM .  Check back for locations. See https://bocogop.org/caucus-assembly/ for more information.

The Democratic Caucus is Saturday, March 9, 12-4pm.  For information and locations see https://www.bocodems.org/caucus .  Here in Gold Hill, our caucus is at the Gold Hill School.

The Caucuses focus on the down ballot races.  Caucus is the most grassroots way to participate in the Democratic process. Precinct Organizers (also known as Precinct Leaders) for the next 2 years will be elected. During the precinct caucus, attendees will elect delegates to attend the County Assemblies and Conventions on March 23 where delegates will hear candidates for the various races and then elect delegates to the State convention.  

Presidential Primary: Colorado no longer uses the caucus/assembly to determine the presidential nominee. It is now through a semi-open primary that allows unaffiliated voters to vote in one party’s primary. Vote in-person or return your ballot by 7pm on election day, which will be March 5th. Ballots will go out this week.

 The main Primary is June 25.
