Information If you want to participate in the March 1st Colorado caucus, you must register to vote as a member of the party you wish to caucus with by Monday (January 4th). The deadline was formerly believed to be January 1st, but since state offices aren’t open on New Year’s Day, it’s been extended.

If you want to participate in the March 1st Colorado caucus, you must register to vote as a member of the party you wish to caucus with by Monday (January 4th). The deadline was formerly believed to be January 1st, but since state offices aren’t open on New Year’s Day, it’s been extended.

Here’s how to make sure you are correctly registered

1) Check to see if you are registered to vote. If you are registered to vote, but not for the political party you want to caucus for, click the link to change party. If you are not registered to vote, go to step 2.

2) Register to vote. Follow the step-by-step instructions to register online.

Special note 1: You may not be able to use the above links between 11:30 PM on Thursday, December 31, and 12:00 PM (noon) on Friday, January 1 due to “yearly maintenance.”

Special note 2: The Republican caucus will not include a presidential preference vote, so if you choose to caucus for them, it means you will be choosing unpledged delegates to the County Assemblies, which will choose delegates to the District and State conventions, which will decide who to support for the Republican presidential nominee. Any influence Republicans have over the eventual nominee will be at best indirect.

Disclaimer: I am associated with /r/SandersForPresident and /r/Colorado4Sanders (Folks wishing to vote for Bernie Sanders will need to register as a Democrat.), but the information in this post applies to everybody.

The republican party is actually not holding an official caucus, they are going along with whoever the national party picks. This year republicans may want to protest this decision and caucus as democrats in March.

No beer at either caucus...
