2024 Caucus & Assembly

Introduction

There are two main ways that a candidate for political office can get their name on the ballot:

1. Petition signatures from voters, or

2. Nomination by delegates at a political party's assembly. These delegates are first elected at your local caucus.

How to Join & What We'll Do

In 2024, the Arapahoe County Democratic Party will hold:

• a Caucus for all precincts on Thursday, March 7, beginning at 6 pm on Zoom. A sign-up will be available in February.

• a combination Assembly and Convention on Saturday, March 9 beginning at noon. These will be in person and the location will be announced beforehand.

If you are an Arapahoe County resident registered (or pre-registered) as a Democrat by February 14, 2024 or sooner, you will be able to:

• Attend and vote at Caucus

• Run for a county delegate and/or precinct organizer position

County Delegates will go to the County Assembly on March 9, where they will help choose candidates for the primary ballot. They'll have the opportunity to become delegates for other district assemblies and the state assembly.

Precinct organizers (PO) help their neighbors find out about the Democratic Party and local candidates for important positions. The PO position lasts for two years, ending at the 2026 caucus.

The County Convention is a step in electing delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, August 19 to 22.
