To participate, you must be eligible to vote in the November 2020 general election and live in the precinct. You also must generally agree with the principles of the political party hosting the caucus.

If you have questions, concerns or a complaint about your precinct caucus, please contact the political party holding the caucus meeting. ALSO CALL CAIR (612-206-3360) TO REPORT ANY ISLAMOPHOBIC ISSUES OR AFTER REPORTING TO POLITICAL PARTY.

Everything from site location to how the caucus is conducted is the responsibility of the party.
You have the right to take time off work to be at a precinct caucus or political party convention (if you’re a delegate or alternate). You must give your employer ten days’ written notice (See 202A.19, subd.2 and 202A.135).
