The Power of the Precinct Caucus
WHAT IS A PRECINCT CAUCUS?
A caucus is a grassroots meeting of community members held by political parties in each precinct, typically in late March of even-numbered years. Its purpose is to organize the precinct, elect precinct officers, and choose delegates who will represent the precinct at county conventions.
WHY ARE CAUCUSES IMPORTANT?
Caucuses are the foundation of political organizing. They allow local voters to influence which candidates and party officials will represent them. Attending a caucus gives you the opportunity to become a delegate and have a direct say in party decisions.
