Logan County Held March 7 Precinct Caucuses, Starting Colorado’s 2026 Candidate Calendar

Logan County held precinct caucuses and county assemblies on Saturday, March 7, part of a statewide series of precinct caucuses conducted March 3 through March 7 that serve as the grassroots first step of Colorado’s 2026 candidate-selection calendar. The county events sent delegates into the next stage of assembly voting and determined local party organizers for the next two years.

At the neighborhood level, precinct caucuses in Logan County followed the statewide format of small gatherings that can be held in person or on Zoom, where party members discuss candidates and party platforms. Participants at those meetings chose delegates to advance to county assemblies, elected precinct organizers who serve two-year terms, and worked to recruit election judges and poll watchers, preserving the local infrastructure of elections.

Delegates chosen in Logan County move from precinct caucuses to county assemblies, and from some county assemblies onward to the state assemblies. County assemblies across Colorado are scheduled between March 3 and March 28; at county and state assemblies delegates vote to advance candidates toward the June primary ballot. A candidate must win at least 30 percent of delegate support at either a county or state assembly to qualify for that party’s primary ballot, though candidates may alternatively qualify by gathering voter signatures.

Participation in Logan County precinct caucuses was subject to the statewide eligibility rules: individuals had to be registered with the party at least 22 days before the caucus date, and unaffiliated voters were not permitted to take part in the caucuses. Unaffiliated voters retain the option to vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary in June, even if they did not participate in March caucuses.

Speakers at caucus gatherings emphasized the community aspect of precinct meetings. “Precincts are a really important component of this whole election process. And you get a feel for 'I'm just not a number, my precinct is my neighborhood around me,' Those are the people that, you know, we have things in common because we live in the same place,” she said. “We've got to start getting people back together and building community and I think this whole caucus process is a way to do that. Both parties want to have more involvement and we want to have younger kids get involved too,” she said.

Statewide next steps include the Democratic State Assembly on March 28 at Pueblo Memorial Hall in Pueblo and the Republican State Assembly on April 11 at Colorado State University Pueblo's Massari Arena. For Logan County residents and local candidates, the immediate practical facts remain: delegates selected March 7 can determine which names appear on the June primary ballot if they meet the 30 percent threshold, or candidates may pursue the signature route to qualify. Detailed Logan County venue listings, delegate counts, turnout figures, and any candidate outcomes were not provided in the March 7 reports and should be confirmed with county party officials or the Logan County clerk for a complete local picture.
