If you'll be 18 by the General Election on Nov. 3, 2020 you may register to vote and vote in the presidential primary, which will be on March 3, 2020. Ballots will be mailed mid-February. You can also vote in the non-presidential primary, held on June 30th, 2020.
You must be a Colorado resident for 30 days and be registered with the county clerk in the county where you live in order to vote.
If you're an Unaffiliated voter you'll receive a Democratic and a Republican ballot in the primary but you may only vote one, otherwise both will be voided.
In order to participate in the Montezuma County Democrats' precinct caucuses you must be registered as a Democrat in your precinct by February 14th, 2020 (22 days before the caucus on March 7th). The caucuses are open to all to observe, but only those meeting this requirement can run for precinct leadership positions, vote, and run to be a delegate to the county convention.
A criminal record doesn't prevent you from registering and voting in Colorado unless you're currently in prison for a felony.
