Super Tuesday is here, and Denverites are voting on who will be the country's next president -- or sitting back and basking in the sun, grateful they have already voted or that they belong to a third party and don't have to.

Ballots came in the mail weeks ago. If you're registered as a Democrat or as a Republican, you will be allowed to vote only in your party's primary.

If you're unaffiliated, you were sent both a Republican and a Democratic ballot, but you'll only be allowed to vote in one party's primary. If you try to vote in both, your ballots will be disqualified.

If you're a minority party member, you're free of electoral responsibilities, as you're not permitted to participate in a primary election.

What the Republican ballot looks like.

The following Republican candidates are on the ballot: Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie and Ryan L. Binkley.

Votes for Trump will count after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that Colorado does not have the authority to disqualify a candidate based on the Fourteenth Amendment's Insurrection Clause.

(A number of those candidates, like Ramaswamy and DeSantis, have dropped out of the race. If you cast your vote for one of them, it will not be counted.)

And the Democratic ballot line-up.

Here are the candidates who appeared on the Democratic ballot: Jason Michael Palmer, Gabriel Cornejo, Frankie Lozada, Dean Phillips, Stephen P. Lyons, Marianne Williamson, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and Armando "Mando" Perez-Serrato.

Instead of opting for any of the candidates, Democrats can also vote for a "noncommitted delegate." Doing so will allow the party to send a person who is not committed to any particular candidate to the Democratic National Convention. Some activists have been lobbying to make it a referendum on the Israel-Gaza war.

Here's what you need to know about voting.

If you've lived in the state for at least 22 days, you're eligible to register, and you can do so as late as today.

Assuming you're registered, you'll be receiving a ballot in the mail in the coming days. But if you aren't or if you aren't sure, you can go to the state's election division website to double-check your registration or to register.

You can drop your ballot off at a secure 24-hour ballot box.

You can also sign up to have your ballot tracked through BallotTrax, a service that will let you know when your ballot has been mailed out, received and counted.

If you lost or damaged your ballot, you can either use the city's curbside ballot pickup service or go to a voting center.

And if you want to vote in person, you can do so at a voting center. For a map of voting locations and ballot boxes citywide, go here.

You have until 7 p.m. to cast your ballot.
