What is a precinct caucus?
Precinct caucuses are coming up on Feb. 7, and they are an excellent way to get involved as an MS activist. Precinct caucuses are meetings organized by political parties to begin the process of selecting candidates for the 2012 election and policy positions to shape the party platform.
Who can go to the caucus?
To attend your caucus you need to live in your precinct and be eligible to vote by Nov. 6, 2012. Also, you will need to choose which party you would like to be affiliated with.
Why should I attend?
This is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, support issues and candidates and introduce resolutions that become part of your party's platform. You even have the opportunity to be a delegate and move on to the next level of your party's caucus system.
Where is my caucus?
To find the location of your precinct caucus, visit the Secretary of State's Web site.
Or click on your party for more information:

The Green Party or 651-288-2820
The DFL Party or 651-293-1200
How do I introduce a resolution?
There will be a time during the agenda when the precinct chair will ask for resolutions. At this time you can read your resolution. If there is disagreement about your resolution the precinct chair will facilitate a debate. It is smart to arrive early to discuss your resolution with neighbors, and remember to bring copies to share with other attendees.
