In election years, Minnesotans across the state gather at the neighborhood level to build an agenda of the issues and to support candidates to run for elected office. These meetings, called precinct caucuses, offer an excellent chance to educate neighbors about important issues and build support for policies in the form of platform resolutions.
In 2010, precinct caucuses will be held on February 2.
Caucus sign-in generally begins at 6:30 p.m. with meetings beginning at 7 p.m. Start times can vary.
