Colorado Democrats plan to hold virtual state assembly, convention in 2024
Colorado Democrats plan to hold a virtual state assembly and convention next year in an effort to make the party meeting more accessible to delegates across the state, party chair Shad Murib told Colorado Politics.
“I’m thrilled that the Colorado Democratic Party is making our most important event of the year more accessible than it has ever been for rural folks, working people, Coloradans with disabilities and young Democrats,” Murib said in a statement. “While Colorado Republicans are focused on limiting participation in their Party, we welcome everyone to join the Colorado Democratic Party.”
The Colorado GOP is set to decide on Saturday whether to close its nominating process to unaffiliated voters next year by opting out of the state-level primary system, which has been in effect since 2018. Under the state's current system, voters who aren't affiliated with a political party — nearly half of all registered voters — can cast ballots in either the Democratic or Republican primaries.
