WHAT HAPPENS AT A PRECINCT CAUCUS?
4 - Each precinct elects a designated number of delegates to your county
Assembly and Convention.
1 - Voting members elect a Chair, Secretary, and Teller. Republicans will not be voting
on candidates.
(Delegates are elected by candidate preference, so each caucus takes a preference poll. Everyone votes
for their preferred candidate.)
5 - After you complete the Presidential Preference Poll to allocate and select
delegates to your county Convention, you go through the same process to
allocate and select delegates to your county Assembly.
6 - The preference poll for your county Assembly will be the highest, contested
state-wide race.
(Currently that is the Distric Attorney race. Some precincts may decide to elect the same people to be
Convention and Assembly delegates.)
7 - Your precinct will also elect two Precinct Committee People and draft and
vote on resolutions, which is the first step in drafting the Democratic party
platform.
