How does our caucus work??

OK, so how does this work?

Sign-in and sign pledge form.

Check-in closes at 7p.m. (Sign in early!)

Roll is taken. When your name is called, answer "here" and state your presidential preference.

People are grouped according to preference.

To earn delegates, candidates must receive support from at least 15% of those in attendance.

After the first count, you can re-caucus. Participants can choose to move to another candidate.

A second count is done. The caucus chair announces the number of delegates awarded to each candidate based on percentage of votes gained.

Elections are held to select which people will serve as delegates to the state convention in June.

Your caucus totals are combined with totals from every county in Idaho to determine how many national delegates each candidate receives.
