REQUIREMENTS TO VOTE IN THE 2024 STATE PRIMARY
To vote in the 2024 State Primary, you must meet the following criteria:
- will be 18 years of age or older by Election Day (Tues. June 25, 2024)
- are a United States citizen,
- be an unaffiliated voter or be affiliated with the Republican or Democratic parties
- have resided in Colorado 22 days immediately before the election (Mon. June 3, 2024 at the latest) at which you intend to vote, AND
- are not currently serving a sentence of confinement or detention for a felony conviction.
You may register to vote at any time up to and including on Election Day. You can do so on the Colorado Secretary of State’s website or in person at a Voter Service and Polling Center. If you want to receive a ballot by mail for the 2024 State Primary Election, you must register no later than Mon. June 17, 2024.
Can 17 year olds vote in the state primary?
You must be 18 by Tuesday, June 25 to be eligible to vote in Colorado’s 2024 State Primary Election.
During the 2020 election, 17 year olds who were turning 18 by the date of the general election in November were eligible to vote in the primaries, made possible by the 2019 Colorado Votes Act. In 2020, Colorado voters approved Amendment 76 which now limits voting to only those 18 and above.
How does party affiliation impact my ability to vote in the primary? Which ballot will I receive?
Voters who are affiliated with a political party may only vote in their party’s primary election. For the 2024 State Primary Election...
- Voters who are affiliated with either major party, Democrat or Republican, will receive that party’s primary ballot.
- Voters affiliated with a minor party will not receive a ballot for the 2024 state primary election.
- Unaffiliated voters will receive both major party ballots, and may vote in only one primary election. Unaffiliated voters who vote & return more than one party’s ballot will have neither ballot counted.
Voters wishing to change political parties or withdraw their party affiliation in order to vote in another party’s 2024 state primary must do so by Monday, June 3. Updates can be made easily online at GoVoteColorado.gov.

- "VSPC" means the location is a full-service Voter Service and Polling Center and will show results in your county if you enter your address.
- "Drop-off" is a list of locations where you can walk or drive up to drop off your ballot. Results are also filtered by county if you enter a search address.
- "Dropbox" is a list of standalone dropboxes where you can drop your ballot (Remember that you can drop your ballot off at any official dropbox in the state and your ballot will get back to your county).
