Participation in Colorado's delegate selection process is open to registered Democrats. Tuesday 1 March 2016 (presumably): Colorado Precinct Caucus. Delegate Pledging: Proportional Caucus/Convention. Voter Eligibility: Closed Caucus/Convention.
There are two separate processes in Colorado that are dealt with simultaneously: Caucuses and conventions select Colorado's National Delegates while assemblies designate candidates for nomination at the August Colorado state primary. Tuesday 1 March 2016 (presumably): First tier Caucuses meet in each precinct to choose delegates to the next tiers in proportion to the percentage of the support each candidate receives at said caucuses- a mandatory 15 percent threshold being required for such allocation. How the Democratic Proportional Delegate Allocation Math works. A fine point: In some counties delegates are elected from the precinct caucuses to the congressional and/or state assembly/conventions. In other counties, delegates are elected from the precinct caucuses to the county assembly/conventions and then to the congressional assembly/convention and state assembly/conventions. 14 April 2016: Colorado Democrats admit mistake that cost Bernie Sanders key delegate from The Denver Post. " The new projection ... shows [Sanders] winning 39 delegates ... compared to 27 for Clinton." We are now showing this split on the top of the page.
NOTE: It is the Congressional District and the State Conventions [with delegates to both chosen by the aforementioned County Conventions] that will, respectively, actually pledge Democratic National Convention delegates to presidential contenders. |

Delegates to the Congressional District and State Conventions are allocated to presidential contenders in proportion to the percentage of the support each candidate receives at the County Conventions- a mandatory 15 percent threshold being required for such allocation. NOTE: It is the Congressional District and the State Conventions [with delegates to both chosen by the aforementioned County Conventions] that will, respectively, actually pledge Democratic National Convention delegates to presidential contenders. |
