This page focuses on the Democratic primaries that took place in Colorado on June 28, 2022.
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election.
Colorado utilizes a semi-closed primary system. According to Section 1-7-201 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, "An eligible unaffiliated elector, including a preregistrant who is eligible under section 1-2-101 (2)(c), is entitled to vote in the primary election of a major political party without affiliating with that political party."[1][2]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Colorado in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 1, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirty candidates filed to run for Colorado’s eight U.S. House districts, including 12 Democrats and 18 Republicans. That’s 3.75 candidates per district, more than the 2.28 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.43 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Colorado gaining one congressional district. The 30 candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates running for Colorado’s U.S. House seats since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data.
Two seats — the 7th and the newly-created 8th district — were open. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D), who represented the 7th district, didn't file to run for re-election. The two open seats this year were the most open seats in Colorado since at least 2014. There were no open seats in 2020 and 2016, and one open seat in 2018 and 2014.
Six candidates, including incumbent Rep. Doug Lamborn (R), filed to run in the 5th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year. There were three contested Democratic primaries, the most since 2018, when five Democratic primaries were contested. There were five contested Republican primaries, the most since at least 2014, the earliest year for which we have data.
Four incumbents faced primary challengers, the most since at least 2014. Two incumbents, Rep. Joe Neguse (D) from the 2nd district and Rep. Jason Crow (D) from the 6th district, didn't face any primary challengers. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, so no seats are guaranteed to either party this year.

State legislative competitiveness
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Colorado in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 2, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Thirty-five state legislative districts up for election in Colorado in 2022 were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That equals 43% of the 82 districts up for election and 35% of the 100 districts in the Colorado General Assembly.
Since no incumbents were present, newcomers to the legislature were guaranteed to win those open districts. This was the most guaranteed newcomers to the Colorado General Assembly since 2014.
Colorado was one of 15 states with term limits for state legislators. Incumbents were only allowed to serve eight years in either chamber before becoming term-limited. In 2022, 14 incumbents were term-limited, six in the Senate and eight in the House. Term limits accounted for 40% of the 35 open districts in 2022. The remaining 21 open districts were caused by incumbents leaving office for another reason.
Overall, 182 major party candidates filed: 86 Democrats and 96 Republicans. This was the first time Republican candidates outnumbered Democrats since 2016, the last time Republicans won a majority of seats in the state Senate.
There were 23 contested primaries: seven Democratic primaries and 16 for Republicans. A contested primary is one where there are more candidates running than nominations available, meaning at least one candidate must lose.
For Democrats, this figure was down from eight in 2020, a 13% decrease. For Republicans, the number increased 46% from 11 in 2020 to 16 in 2022.
Of those 23 contested primaries, six included incumbents: one Democrat and five Republicans. This was the largest number of incumbents in contested primaries since 2014, representing 13% of incumbents who filed for re-election.

Voter information
How the primary works
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election.
Colorado utilizes a semi-closed primary system. According to Section 1-7-201 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, "An eligible unaffiliated elector, including a preregistrant who is eligible under section 1-2-101 (2)(c), is entitled to vote in the primary election of a major political party without affiliating with that political party."[3][4]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Poll times
In Colorado, polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time for those who choose to vote in person rather than by mail. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[5][6]
Registration requirements
- Check your voter registration status here.
In Colorado, an individual can pre-register to vote if they are at least 15 years old. Voters must be at least 18 years old to vote in any election. A voter must be a citizen of the United States and have established residence in Colorado to vote.[7]
Colorado voters can register to vote through Election Day. However, in order to automatically receive a absentee/mail-in ballot, a voter must register online, through the mail, at a voter registration agency, or driver's license examination facility at least eight days prior to Election Day. A voter that registers through a voter registration drive must submit their application no later than 22 days before the election to automatically receive an absentee/mail-in ballot. A voter can register online or submit a form in person or by fax, email, or mail.[7][8][9]
Automatic registration
- See also: Automatic voter registration
Colorado automatically registers eligible individuals to vote through the Department of Motor Vehicles and certain other state agencies.
Online registration
- See also: Online voter registration
Colorado has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.
Same-day registration
- See also: Same-day voter registration
Colorado allows same-day voter registration for individuals who vote in person.
Residency requirements
Colorado law requires 22 days of residency in the state before a person may vote.[8]
Verification of citizenship
Colorado does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual applying to register to vote must attest that they are a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury.
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[10] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
Verifying your registration
The site Go Vote Colorado, run by the Colorado Secretary of State office, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.
Voter ID requirements
Colorado requires voters to present non-photo identification when voting in person. If voting by mail for the first, a voter may also need to return a photocopy of his or her identification with their mail-in ballot. Click here for more information.
The following list of accepted forms of identification was current as of August 2025. Click here for the most current information, sourced directly from the Office of the Colorado Secretary of State.
| “ | The following documents are acceptable forms of identification:
Any form of identification listed above that shows your address must show a Colorado address to qualify as an acceptable form of identification. The following documents are also considered acceptable forms of identification for voting:

- Note: SB 1, signed into law on May 12, 2025, specified that tribal IDs issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Health Service, or another federal agency were also valid identification.
Early voting
Colorado uses a vote-by-mail system exclusively, so there is no need for explicit absentee or early voting procedures, except for those who cannot or do not wish to vote by mail.
County officials automatically send mail ballots to every elector in active status beginning 18 to 22 days before the election. The last day on which officials can mail a ballot to a voter is eight days before the election.
Colorado law requires county officials to open and operate polling locations called Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs) starting 15 days before the election through Election Day, excluding Sundays. For primary and November coordinated elections, VSPCs must be open starting 8 days before the election. Eligible voters can visit any VSPC in their county of residence to do any of the following:[13][14]
- Void their mail ballot to vote in person,
- Register to vote,
- Update an existing voter registration record,
- Obtain a mail ballot "over-the-counter," or
- Vote in person on paper ballots or accessible voting devices.
Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.
Absentee voting
Colorado conducts what are commonly referred to as all-mail elections. In Colorado, voting is conducted primarily, although not necessarily exclusively, by mail. Election officials automatically distribute mail-in ballots to active electors starting 18 to 22 days before an election. Colorado law requires county clerks to operate polling locations (Voter Service and Polling Centers, or VSPCs) starting 15 days before an election and continuing through Election Day, excluding Sundays. At these locations, eligible voters can do any of the following:[15]
- void their mail-in ballots to vote in person,
- register to vote,
- update existing voter registration records,
- obtain mail-in ballots, or
- vote in person via paper ballots or accessible voting devices.

- ↑ Under federal law, the national mail voter registration application (a version of which is in use in all states with voter registration systems) requires applicants to indicate that they are U.S. citizens in order to complete an application to vote in state or federal elections, but does not require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
