Can I still register to vote on Super Tuesday? Yes.
In Colorado, you can register to vote any time, including on the day of any election.
How do I register to vote?
First, while you can register to vote at age 16 in Colorado, you can't vote until you are 18. Also, you must:
Be a U.S. citizen.
Be a Colorado resident for at least 22 days before the election.
Not be serving a sentence of confinement or detention for a felony conviction. (Those on probation or parole are eligible to vote.)
To register online, go to govotecolorado.gov and click on "Yes, register online" under the Register to Vote header.
If you registered within 8 days of the election, you'll have to go to a voter service and polling center to pick up your ballot.

How to see if you're already registered to vote
Go to govotecolorado.gov and click on Find My Registration. Fill out the information. If you are registered, it'll tell you things like your party affiliation, the districts you vote in, where you can vote in person, and what's on the ballot, if ballots have been created already.
After I've voted, how can I know my ballot was received?
Go to ballottrax.coloradosos.gov/voter/ and sign up to get notifications.
In a primary, do I have to vote with the party I'm registered with?
Republicans will receive the Republican primary ballot, and Democrats will receive the Democrats' ballot. But unaffiliated voters receive both ballots and can vote in either primary.
However, unaffiliated voters can vote in only one party's primary, so they should return only one ballot. If they return both, neither ballot will be counted.
