The following message from Pat Waak, Chair, Colorado Democratic Party, is a reminder of the upcoming deadline for registering as a Democrat if one wants to be involved in the February 5 Caucuses. Many of you probably have friends who are not currently registered, so this is a great opportunity to encourage them to become registered Democrats. Remember, in order to have a voice in the selection of the Democratic candidate for United States President, to become a Delegate to the Colorado State Democratic Convention in May or to become a Delegate the Democratic National Convention in August, one MUST attend the caucuses on February 5, 2008, and this is the first step!...Jeffrey Shaw, Chair, Colorado Stonewall Democrats:
The Party Caucus Voter Registration Deadline is December 5th
Colorado Democrats, Governor Ritter, and Democratic Delegation Urge all to register to VOTE.
The deadline to register party affiliation in order to participate in the party “caucus” process is December 5, 2007.
Pat Waak, Democratic Party Chair said, “With the Democratic National Convention coming to Colorado next August Coloradans have a heightened interest in playing a role in our nations future. One of the first steps in the political process is party affiliation so I’m urging all those legally qualified to vote to register at there local County Clerk and Recorders office.”
In order to vote in a precinct caucus, the voter must be a resident of the precinct for thirty days, and have registered to vote no later than twenty-nine days before the caucus, and be affiliated with the political party holding the caucus for at least two months as shown on the books of the county clerk and recorder; except that any registered voter who has turned 18 years old or has become a naturalized citizen during the two months preceding the meeting may vote at caucus even though the voter has been affiliated with the political party for less than two months.
Colorado Democrats urge voters to register.
