A Guide To Using Your Voice
When the nation feels chaotic, it’s natural to want to take action.
BUT HOW DO YOU USE YOUR VOICE?
The best way to make a real impact with your voice is to start locally.
Think Globe, Act Local.
The first step to local politics is knowing your house district.
When you know your House District you can find out your caucus site.
What is caucus?
Caucus happens every March in even years—it’s where we decide who gets on the ballot!
You must be registered with a political party to participate in their caucus.
Sorry, Unaffiliated!
The truth is, being unaffiliated has no benefit, and it actually prevents you from participating.
The only way to have a voice in who gets on the ballot is to participate in caucus. It is the first step to getting a say in the direction a party takes. And to participate you have to affiliate with a party.
So, now that you are registered with a party, it’s time to find out what House District you are in.
Go to the Colorado Secretary of State Website
After you know your Precinct Number and House District -
Reach out to your specific House District through your county party. Be sure to ask them if there is a Precinct Officer position open for you!
Here is our House District Page where you can sign up to get involved. Just select the purple hand with a heart on your district.

And remember the most important way you can get involved is to go to Caucus and help us get a great candidate on the ballot.
If you are a Denver Democrat, you can find your caucus site by typing in your precinct number here
At Caucus you can become a delegate to fight for your candidate of choice to be on the Ballot in the election.
What are the steps to being a Delegate?
Caucus ➡️ Assembly ➡️ Convention
Each level you are given the chance to return to the next level if your candidate secured enough of the vote. If they don’t, you often get the option to delegate for someone who got enough votes so that you can continue participating in the process.
Politics can be complicated—these rules and processes have been in place for centuries. Remember, many of us learn as we go. The important thing is to take that first step.
