COLORADO, USA — Colorado is one of 15 states holding Super Tuesday presidential primaries on March 5. Voters in the state must return their ballots by 7 p.m. that day.
It's too late to mail ballots. Instead, they should be returned to a drop box or voting center. A list of drop boxes and voting centers is available on each county clerk's website.

Who's on the ballots
Several candidates on the Republican primary ballot have publicly suspended their campaigns since the ballot was certified on Jan. 5. Those candidates include Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Asa Hutchinson, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
On the Democratic side, Marianne Williamson has also publicly suspended her campaign.
The Colorado Secretary of State's Office said these candidates have not filed paperwork to formally withdraw their names from the ballot.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December that former President Donald Trump was not allowed on the Colorado primary ballot. But the justices stayed the ruling if it was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court by a certain date, which it was.
The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case Feb. 8, and issued a ruling Monday. That unanimous ruling restored Trump to the ballot.
The secretary of state's office said the Colorado Democratic Party submitted a request for a "Noncommitted Delegate" to appear on the Democratic primary ballot. Per Colorado law, the office said, a vote for the Noncommitted Delegate provides "a place on the primary ballot for electors who have no presidential candidate preference to register a vote to send a noncommitted delegate to the political party’s national convention."

What's in the envelope
Coloradans who are affiliated with the Republican or Democratic party will receive only the ballot of that party.
Unaffiliated voters will receive a ballot for each party, and can only vote one of those ballots for their vote to be counted.
Voters affiliated with a minor party will not receive a ballot.
How to register to vote
Ballots were mailed to Coloradans who registered to vote or updated their voter registration before Feb. 26.
After Feb. 26, Coloradans can still register to vote, receive a ballot, and vote in person at a voting center until 7 p.m. on Election Day, March 5. A list of voting centers is available on each county clerk's website.
