"At 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday in March in every state general election
year there shall be held for every election precinct a party caucus..."
(Minnesota Statutes, 202A.14, Subdivision 1)Precinct caucuses for each of Minnesota's
three major political parties will
be held on Tuesday, February 2, 2010. The caucuses will begin at
7:00 p.m.
Precinct caucuses are the beginning of the process that Minnesota's major
political parties use for choosing the candidates and the issues they will
support in the 2010 elections. Their choices are especially important
because the future of our state and country will be affected by the
candidates we elect in 2010.
You may participate in your party's caucus if:
- by November 2, of any given caucus year (2010 this election) you are
(or will be) at least 18 years of age
- a citizen of the United States and a resident of Minnesota for at
least 20 days
You may participate in the precinct in which you are in agreement with
the principals of the party as stated in your party's constitution and that
you either voted or affiliated with the party at the last (2008) state
general election or intend to do so at the upcoming (2010) state general
election.
To find out where your caucus
will be held check with the county auditor or your political party:
