The 2024 Coloradan presidential election was the first annual presidential election in the Republic of Colorado. It took place on 9 March 2024, following the ratification of the new Constitution earlier that year. Friedrich von Colorado was unanimously elected as the first President of Colorado.
On 29 October 2023, the Grand Duchy of Colorado was transformed into the Republic of Colorado after an institutional referendum held on 27 October. Following this transition, an interim constitutional document was enacted, with Friedrich von Colorado serving as interim head of state.
The Constitution of Colorado was ratified by the constitutional assembly on 17 February 2024, formally establishing the Republic of Colorado as a parliamentary republic with an executive presidency. Under the Constitution, the General Assembly was given authority to elect the president. The election was subsequently scheduled for 9 March 2024 by Johann von Colorado, who was elected President of the General Assembly on 2 March, one day after the first parliamentary election in Colorado.
Friedrich von Colorado, serving as interim head of state and General Secretary of the Colorado Party, was unanimously elected president by the General Assembly. He was inaugurated at the Legislative Hall on 19 March 2024, 17 days after the First General Assembly convened.
