Join 2026 Caucus

What is a Caucus?

it's a local meeting of Democrats in your neighborhood

Caucuses and assemblies are how Democrats nominate their favorite candidates to the primary ballot.

This is also where precinct organizers are elected, identify election judges identified and candidates are moved forward. The Caucus is foundation for deciding how the Democratic party shows up on the ballot.

This process gives everyday Democrats a direct voice in the future of the party.

WHY?

Promotes you from a "voter" to a "decision-maker."

Caucuses are the "filter" that decides who actually makes it onto that ballot. In many states, caucus-goers select delegates who then vote on which candidates receive the party’s official endorsement.

By attending, you have a hand in vetting candidates early, ensuring that the person who eventually runs represents your specific values.

WHO GOES?

Caucuses are open to registered Democrats who live in the precinct.

You do not need experience to attend. Many people come to listen, learn, and understand how the process works.

Pre-registered 16- and 17-year-olds may also participate.

Check out our resources below to find where and when yours is happening.

WHat happens?

Caucuses are rare opportunities to meet the people in your neighborhood who share your values and choose your reps.

At a caucus, Democrats come together to:
