How to vote in the presidential primary

Don’t miss your opportunity to vote in Colorado’s presidential primary March 2–3. You must be in line by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3.

5 things to know
 
  • Registered Democrats vote in the Democratic Primary
  • Registered Republicans vote in the Republican Primary
  • Unaffiliated voters may vote in either party’s primary but may only vote in one primary.
  • Colorado is an all-options state: Registered voters are mailed ballots, which they can vote and return, or any voter can instead vote in person at a Voter Service Center (see below).
  • It is never too late to register to vote—you may register to vote up to and including Election Day!

Did you receive your ballot in the mail?

  • Do not mail it! Drop your ballot off at the ballot dropbox outside of the UMC before 7 p.m. Tuesday. (Dropbox is located on the sidewalk leading up to the Southside Terrace on Euclid Avenue.)
  • Not a Boulder County ballot? No problem—voters can use any dropbox in the state to return their mail ballot.
  • Find dropbox locations in Boulder County.

Didn’t receive your ballot in the mail? No problem

The Voter Service and Polling Center (VSPC) in the UMC is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Election Day. You must be in line by 7 p.m. Tuesday.

At the UMC Voter Service Center, you can:

  • Drop off your ballot (all Colorado voters).
  • Register to vote or update your registration (all Colorado voters).
  • Vote in person. (Note: Because the primary ballot is the same statewide, any voter from any Colorado county can vote in person at the UMC for this election.)
  • Request a replacement ballot (all Colorado voters).

Find off-campus voter service centers. Don’t forget to bring valid ID, such as your Buff OneCard or Colorado driver’s license/ID. See other ID options.
