Colorado Democratic county assemblies, March 2 - March 26, 2016

Detailed results for the congressional district conventions, April 1–15, 2016^[6]

As Barack Obama had similarly done eight years earlier in the state, Bernie Sanders won a convincing 19-point victory in the Colorado caucus, relying on turnout from young adult voters in a majority white electorate.^[8]^[9] He ran up big margins in the capital city of Denver and in Denver County at large, as well as in Colorado Springs in El Paso County and Fort Collins in Larimer County. Sanders also performed very strongly in the western parts of the state along the Rocky Mountains, in regions such as the Colorado Mineral belt and Northwestern Colorado which are rural and sparsely populated. Clinton won in the city of Pueblo in Pueblo County.

Sanders gained more delegates over Clinton with a large turnout from supporters at the conventions in April.^[10]
