DFL Precinct Caucus 2024: The future starts here!

Tuesday February 27th, 2024 from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm. Eden Prairie High School, East Commons

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!
