PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES PRIMARIES Return by March 3

The Grand County Clerk and Recorder’s office has sent Presidential Primary Election ballots to all active registered voters. This is the first presidential primary in Colorado in 20 years.

Unaffiliated voters will have the opportunity to choose the Republican or Democrat ballot, but cannot vote both. Grand County Clerk and Recorder, Sara Rosene did noted the timing of mailing the ballots can make selection of candidates harder because some candidates could withdraw from the race such as Democratic candidate John K. Delaney who officially withdrew, but his name still appears on the ballot.

Ballots need to be returned no later than Tuesday, March 3.
