Colorado Caucus Voting Locations

Posted by sass on 1/31/2008 2:37:07 PM in Congress Park, Berkeley, Capitol Hill, Highlands and Jefferson Park, politics

Why didn’t I listen more closely in PoliSci? Anyway for my own edification I did some webbing…

What is a Caucus?
It’s a neighborhood meeting of registered voters. Each person casts their vote for their preferred presidential candidate.   

What are the requirements to vote?
You must be a registered Democrat or Republican.

What if I’m a registered Independent?
Sorry my friend, you’re out of luck…you could have changed your affiliation but the deadline was December 5th. It’s a very exclusive club – they don’t call it “Closed Caucus” for nothing!

Colorado Caucus

How do you know if a primary is closed or not? It seems unfair non-partisan citizens don't have a vote. Can someone explain why this is?

Elizabeth, membership has it's privilege. And, non-partisans are not able to skew the results of the choices of the party members. Now, to find out where to vote if you are a registered Republican. 1st, go here find your precinct number: http://www.sos.state.co.us/Voter/voterHome.do to then, go here to find your location, based upon that precinct number: http://www.cologop.org/pages/precinctinfo.cfm

How come when I went to vote then only thing going on did not include voting? All the election judges and volenteers were trying to decided who would go to conventions and such. In fact, I met a gentleman and his wife in the parking lot and they drove all over trying to find out where to vote. What the heck is up? I want to vote, but doesn't seem like I can when the polling places are not open.

Because it's a caucus and not a primary traditional ballots are not cast. Instead party affiliates cast their votes by raising their hands or marking a piece of paper. Delegates are chosen to vote at the County level then the State level. It essentially determines who will be on the August primary. It’s a confusing system that should be changed.
