Represent your community!

Become a Democratic delegate in 2024 and support your favorite candidates for office up and down the ballot!

In 2024, you have an opportunity to help represent your community in choosing the candidates who will compete for the Democratic nomination in races up and down the ballot! This is a unique and special way to make your voice heard and determine the future of your community, our state, and our country. Whether your passion is to end income inequality, fight climate change, protect our democracy, end gun violence, or bring down the high cost of health care, this process is for you. 

We hope you’ll join us by stepping up to support your favorite candidates for President of the United States, the University of Colorado Regent At-Large (Go Buffs!), and state/local offices across the state!

Colorado Democrats will kick off the 2024 election season on March 5, 2024, by holding its presidential primary election.

From March 5 to the 9th, we’ll hold gatherings in your community called precinct caucuses where you can meet your neighbors, help shape our policy platform, and support your favorite candidates by becoming a delegate for a variety of races up and down the ballot. From there, counties, and Congressional districts will meet throughout the month of March and April, ultimately culminating in our State Assembly & Convention on April 13, 2024.

You could even be elected by 2,000 of your fellow Democrats to join us in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention in August for a week of fun and politics in the Windy City when we nominate the Democratic candidate for President of the United States.

This website will be regularly updated with tips, tools, and updates along the way so that you have every resource available to you to stand up for your community and become a Democratic delegate in 2024.
