Colorado's Presidential Caucuses

Colorado's Presidential Caucuses will be held on Super Tuesday, February 5th! If you are a registered voter and had declared your party affiliation prior to December 5th, 2007 you can participate in the caucus to help determine the next President! To read more about how caucuses work, check out this page on the Boulder County Clerk's website. To check your voter registration status (such as which party you're affiliated with), click here. To find your caucus location, check here if you're a registered Democrat and here if you're a registered Republican. And of course before you go there you should have an idea who you'd like to caucus for or at least which issues are most important to you. I found this quiz from Minnesota Public Radio helpful in determining which candidates match up the best with my most important issues. The results page also has links to all the candidates' websites so you can visit the ones you're interested in and read more about what they would do as President! So, get out there and participate in our representative democracy, k? :)

Edited 2/2/08: I love seeing that stats on how many people are getting to this post by searching for "Longmont Super Tuesday locations" or "How do Colorado Caucuses Work?" I think it's cool that you all are doing your research! 9News' Decision '08 pages are also really helpful in understanding the process and gathering information about the candidates. Have fun!
