DENVER – In 2008, the Colorado Democratic Party saw a huge surge of voters attending Caucus for the first time to help elect our President Barack Obama. With the 2010 Caucuses weeks away, Pat Waak, Colorado Democratic Party Chair released the following statement:

"We are encouraging voters across the state to attend their caucus this year and have their voices heard at the grassroots level. Caucus is the very first step in our democratic process where average citizens can talk with their neighbors about who they want to lead our party and our state.

Voters who will be attending Caucus this year on Tuesday, March 16th need to be affiliated with the Democratic Party by January 19, 2010 to participate. New voters must be registered and affiliated at least 29 days prior to the Caucus date."

Voters wanting to confirm their current registration or affiliation details can use the Colorado Secretary of State's online lookup tool here.

Voters needing to change their party affiliation must submit the appropriate form to their county clerk's office not later than close of business, January 19.  County clerk office contact information may be found here.
