Gov. Polis: Colorado Will Hold Primaries on Super Tuesday

Scott Franz

Colorado will now join a dozen other states holding their primaries on March 3. For the last 20 years Colorado held caucuses to determine a party’s candidate. But in 2016 voters overwhelmingly approved a proposition restoring primaries in a presidential election year.

Polis says being a part of Super Tuesday could give Colorado more influence in the election.

 
“We hope that many of those candidates will come to Colorado will stay in our hotels will buy things in our stores, and some of them have entourages too so we’re excited that this will help promote Colorado on the national map,” explained the governor.
 
Moving to a primary on Super Tuesday means the state’s unaffiliated voters will be able to participate.
