Deadline approaching for those wishing to change party affiliation for the June Primary

All voters encouraged to periodically check voter registration


Boulder County, Colo.  This year the Democratic Party and Republican Party will have primary elections on Tuesday, June 26. No other political parties are holding a Primary Election in Boulder County this year.

 

Ballots begin to be mailed to voters on June 4. In order to participate in a party primary election, a voter must be registered with that party or be registered as an unaffiliated voter. If a voter is registered with one of Colorado’s minor political parties: American Constitution, Green, Libertarian, or Unity Parties, and wishes to change or withdraw their party affiliation (to unaffiliated or to a major party) in order to participate in either the Democratic or Republican Party primaries, they must do so no later than Tuesday, May 29.

 

Tuesday is also the deadline for Unaffiliated Voters who wish to pre-select their ballot preference and receive only that ballot. However, this is not a requirement. All active, eligible unaffiliated voters who do not pre-select a ballot preference will simply be mailed both the Democratic and Republican Party ballots and will be instructed to only vote and return one.

Boulder County voters are also encouraged to periodically check their voter registration to make sure it is up-to-date, especially if they have moved or have not voted in several years.

 

Voter registration can be verified online at www.GoVoteColorado.com. Voters can also visit the website to register to vote, view ballot content, and learn more about 2018 elections. They can also call 303-413-7740 for more information or visit one of three Boulder County Clerk & Recorder’s office branches: 1750 33rd St. in Boulder, 529 Coffman St. in Longmont; or 1376 Miners Drive in Lafayette. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
