Precinct caucuses are meetings organized
by Minnesota’s political parties through
which each party begins its process
of selecting candidates for the 2010 election
and policy positions to shape its party
platform. Caucuses provide a great

opportunity for citizens to engage in
Minnesota’s political process at the
“grassroots” level to influence the direction
and decisions of their government. Precinct
caucuses are open to the public and
participation is encouraged by the political
parties. In order to vote, offer resolutions or
become a delegate at a precinct caucus,
attendees must be eligible to vote in the 2010
general election, live in the precinct and be in
general agreement with the principles of the
political party.
The Precinct Caucuses for the Green,
Democratic, Republican, Constitution and
Independence Parties will be held on
February 2nd, at 7 pm. To find the meeting
location for your precinct and party,  call
your local party headquarters  or check out these webpages:
