Primary
2020 Presidential Primary Election
Primary is “Super Tuesday,” March 3, 2020
Sample ballots:
*If a candidate submits a withdrawal form to the Colorado Secretary of State after January 3, the candidate will have his/her name stricken through on the candidate list, and the votes cast for the candidate will not be counted.
Democratic presidential primary candidate Michael Bennet has submitted a withdrawal form to the Secretary of State’s Office.
Democratic presidential primary candidate John K. Delaney has submitted a withdrawal form to the Secretary of State’s Office.
According to 1-4-1001(1)(c) and 1-5-412(3), C.R.S., votes cast for a candidate who submits a withdrawal form must not be counted. Thus, votes cast for John K. Delaney or Michael Bennet in the Democratic presidential primary election must not be counted.
