Ballots for Colorado\u2019s first presidential primary election in 20 years were mailed Monday to registered Democrats and Republicans, Pitkin County\u2019s clerk said.<\/p>\n

State voters decided in 2016 to replace Colorado\u2019s caucus system with a primary, which means that registered Republicans and Democrats will receive a ballot with their party\u2019s nominees in the mail. Unaffiliated voters will receive both ballots, though they can return only one.<\/p>\n

The ballots will feature 17 Democrats and six Republicans, said Janice Vos Caudill, Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder.<\/p>\n

The last day to put the ballots in the mail is Feb. 24, when early voting begins, she said. Before that and after, Pitkin County voters can take ballots to drop-off boxes in front of the Pitkin County Building in Aspen, at Snowmass Village Town Hall and at Basalt Town Hall, she said. The boxes can be used 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are monitored by video surveillance.<\/p>\n

Early voting at the Pitkin County Building will take place between Feb. 24 and March 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Saturday voting occurring between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t want to vote early, Colorado\u2019s presidential primary will take place March 3, when registered voters can go to the Pitkin County Building and vote between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Vos Caudill said.<\/p>\n

Colorado\u2019s renewed presidential primary means that 17-year-olds who will be 18 by Nov. 3 \u2014 the date of this year\u2019s presidential election \u2014 can participate.<\/p>\n

Colorado will hold another primary June 30 to determine who will run for state races and U.S. House and Senate contests in November.<\/p>\n
