Registration begins at 6:30 pm. Call to order is at 7 pm.
By attending your 2024 DFL Precinct Caucus, you’ll have the opportunity to help build the changes you’d like to see in your community.
What is a Precinct Caucus?
A precinct caucus is the first step in the democratic process. A group of neighbors (grouped into ‘precincts’) gather together to discuss issues, candidates, and help shape the DFL platform in their local communities, the state, and the nation.
At caucus you will:
Meet neighbors and build relationships
Meet candidates seeking local, state, and national offices
Elect your precinct’s chair and vice-chair
Elect delegates to represent your precinct at upcoming conventions
Create and discuss resolutions for consideration in the DFL Party Platform
Our party platform is shaped by grassroots activists and DFLers across Minnesota. Help keep Minnesota Blue in 2024 by joining your community for Caucus on February 27th!
