Caucus

What Is the Purpose of Caucus?

The purpose of a caucus is simple:

It’s where regular voters get together to help choose who will be on the ballot.

Instead of decisions being made behind closed doors, neighbors meet in person to:

• Support the candidates they like

• Elect delegates

• Have a voice in the party’s direction

Those delegates then vote at the next level (County and State Assembly) to decide which candidates move forward to the Primary Election.

In plain terms:

Caucus is where grassroots voters begin the process of choosing their candidates.

If you don’t participate, someone else makes that decision for you.
