by Courtney Stone
Courtney Stone is the Community Organizing Manager at the Independence Center. She gave this speech at the 2015 Creating Community Breakfast.

Colorado: Caucuses and Primaries
In Colorado, political parties use both caucuses and primaries to determine who will be on the ballot in the coordinated election in the fall. The purpose of caucuses is to determine who will be on the primary ballot in June.
