Colorado Primaries for Statewide offices and Congress

 
 

The Colorado Republican Party elected their national convention delegates without taking a vote for Presidential Preference. While the delegates are officially not bound to any candidate, we have "soft counted" the delegates as Bush supporters.

12 March 2003 - Fox News reports that the elimination of the Colorado Presidential Primary was among proposals to reduce the state's 2002-03 budget by $800 million. Governor Bill Owens (Republican) signed a bill on 5 March 2003 which saves $2.2 million by eliminating the 2004 Presidential Primary.

Tuesday 13 April 2004 - Precinct Caucuses meet in each precinct to choose delegates to the County Assemblies and District Conventions.

  • There is no formal system applied in the Precinct Caucus to relate the presidential preference of the Precinct Caucus delegates to the choice of the election district's delegates to the Colorado County Assemblies and District Conventions. The delegates in attendance at each Precinct Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.
 

Friday 23 April - Friday 14 May 2004 - County Assemblies.

 

Saturday 22 May - Saturday 5 June 2004: Colorado's District Conventions.

Distict Caucuses choose the 21 National Convention Delegates (3 in each of Colorado's 7 Congression Districts) along with the district's delegates to the Colorado State Republican Convention.

  • There is no formal system applied in the District Caucus to relate the presidential preference of the District Caucus delegates to the choice of the election district's delegates to the National or State Republican Convention. The delegates in attendance at each District Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.
 

Saturday 5 June 2004: The Colorado State Republican Convention convenes. The State Convention chooses 26 of 50 delegates from Colorado to the Republican National Convention.

  • There is no formal system applied in the Convention to relate the presidential preference of the Convention delegates to the choice of the Convention's delegates to the Republican National Convention. The delegates in attendance at each Precinct Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.

In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Colorado's Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.
