Coloradans Begin Receiving Ballots for Upcoming Super Tuesday Presidential Primary
As Colorado gears up for Super Tuesday presidential primary on March 5, ballots will soon be arriving in mailboxes across the state.
In Colorado, both Biden and Trump face challenges in terms of popularity. This primary election provides an opportunity for voters to express their discontent and cast protest votes in a major Super Tuesday contest.
For Democratic voters, the ballot includes an option: the "noncommitted delegate." This choice allows voters to express their lack of preference in the race. The inclusion of this option was requested by the state party, emphasizing the importance of giving voters a range of choices.
The order of the candidate's names is determined randomly, and Biden's name appears second from the bottom.
On the Republican side, despite exiting the primary race, four candidates are still listed on the ballot: Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Asa Hutchinson, and Chris Christie. Additionally, Nikki Haley's name remains on the ballot.
Former President Donald Trump's name appears last, even though his candidacy is currently being challenged by Colorado in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Registered Democrats and Republicans will receive ballots specific to their respective primaries. However, unaffiliated voters will receive both Democratic and Republican ballots, giving them the option to return only one of them.
While mail-in voting commences with the arrival of ballots, in-person voting will begin on February 20. Denver residents will have access to 16 voting centers starting February 26. It is important to remember that all ballots must be received by 7 pm on March 5 to ensure their inclusion in the primary.
