For the first time in Minnesota history, there will be precinct caucuses (Feb 25) AND a binding Presidential primary (March 3).
Learn more on Thursday, Feb 20 at Metropolitan State University.
Caucuses are neighborhood meetings organized by Minnesota’s political parties to begin the process of choosing delegates to party conventions. Caucuses allow ordinary people to influence the priorities of their chosen political party—people who attend caucuses can affect the issues their party will stand for by offering resolutions. They are held in multiple locations and participation by all voters is encouraged. The percent of delegates each presidential candidate will receive will be determined by popular vote in the Presidential primary.
