Prepare & Promote Resolutions
Prepare & Promote Resolutions
Many DFL Interest Groups promote resolutions. Follow your issues of concern, and ask if an organization has drafted caucus resolutions...or write your own. Present your resolutions to your caucus, and participants will vote yes or no to adopt it. If adopted, all the delegates at the Itasca County DFL convention will vote on their top resolutions. Those resolutions will be forwarded to the state’s DFL Central Committe for a final vote.

Sign Up At Your Precinct Caucus to Be An Election Judge
Sign Up At Your Precinct Caucus to Be An Election Judge
Itasca County DFL will submit a list of people that want to be an election judge; that list is compiled from people that sign up at their precinct caucus. The list is given to all election administrators in the county---they must select an even number of election judges from each party. During the 2024 election cycle, Democrats were in short supply. Election judges are needed at your local precinct, at the courthouse on Election Day, and periodically on the Absentee Ballot Board during the 45 days prior to elections. Judges are certified for 2 years.
