Colorado is one of the original affiliates and was formed and active by the time of the first convention. Party co-founder David Nolan had served multiples on its boards and various committees. The LPCO is consistently in the top ten of affiliates by national membership size and since 2016 has maintained a Libertarian voter registration of over 1% of the registered voters.
