Frequently Asked Questions

What are precinct caucuses?

The precinct caucus is the first in a series of meetings where political parties endorse candidates and set goals and values (called party platforms). The positions and candidates supported at the local level directly inform the positions and candidates that delegates support at each political party’s state convention.

Do I need qualifications to attend?

Anyone can attend a precinct caucus, but in order to participate you must be eligible to vote in the upcoming general election, live in the precinct, and be inclined to support the principles of the party with which you are caucusing.

What should I bring?

Print off the resolutions from MCC or bring your own blank form.

Does it actually make an impact?

Yes! It makes a big impact. You can introduce and support resolutions on statewide policy issues, such as abortion restrictions, education choice, and public support for low-income families. Anyone can introduce a resolution, and, if passed, the resolution can eventually become part of the official party platform
