(DENVER, Colo) — The 2024 Presidential Primary Election takes place on Tuesday, March 5, and according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, County Clerks have sent mail ballots to eligible voters. As there have been several changes to the status of different candidates in the past few months, Secretary of State Jena Griswold wants to let voters know what to expect on their ballots.

“Election Day is coming up and it’s important for voters to stay engaged in our democratic process,” said Secretary Griswold. “Always use trusted sources and reach out to my office or local county clerks with questions about the election.”

Colorado voters registered with a major party will receive a single ballot for the party they are associated with. All unaffiliated voters will receive one ballot for each party, but may only return one. Voters affiliated with a minor party will not receive a 2024 Presidential Primary ballot.

Though several candidates have publicly suspended their campaigns since the ballot was certified on Jan. 5, at the time of this publication, no candidates have filed paperwork with the Secretary of State’s Office to formally withdraw their names from the ballot. Votes for these candidates will be counted unless withdrawal paperwork is filed with the Colorado Department of State.

The Colorado Democratic Party submitted a request for a “Noncommitted Delegate” to appear on the 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot under the provisions of Colorado Revised Statutes 1-4-1204(3). According to the statute, a vote for the Noncommitted Delegate provides “a place on the primary ballot for electors who have no presidential candidate preference to register a vote to send a noncommitted delegate to the political party’s national convention.” Political parties determine the rules of delegate assignment.

For those wondering whether Donald Trump will appear on the ballot, Donald J. Trump v. Norma Anderson, et. al., which concerns whether he is eligible to appear on the ballot, has not yet been decided by the United States Supreme Court. According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, if there is no decision by the U.S. Supreme Court by the time primary election results start to be reported on Election Day, votes for Trump will count and be reported.

If the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump ahead of Election Day, votes for the former president will be counted. If the U.S. Supreme Court rules against Trump ahead of election results reporting, votes for the former president will not be counted.
