Colorado will hold its presidential primary on Super Tuesday next year, raising the already-high stakes on the biggest day for delegate allocation on the 2020 calendar.

Gov. Jared Polis (D), who has sole discretion to set the primary date, said he decided to hold the primary on Super Tuesday to attract attention from presidential candidates.

“Our Super Tuesday primaries will be a tremendous opportunity to participate in democracy and for Coloradans to have their voices heard by presidential candidates in all parties,” Polis said.

Colorado becomes the 14th state to hold its nominating contest on Super Tuesday. The 58 delegates it will allocate that day will make it only the eighth-largest prize, well behind mega-states like California and Texas.
