In Minnesota, precinct caucuses are held every two years, typically in early February (next one is February 3, 2026).
What is caucus? A caucus is a local neighborhood meeting run by a political party — usually held in schools, churches, or community centers — where citizens come together to:
- Talk about issues and values that matter to them,
- Elect delegates who will represent their views at local and state party conventions, and
- Support or endorse candidates for public office.
It’s the first step in shaping who gets endorsed, what your party stands for, and even what laws get proposed later.
Who Can Participate?
- You must live in the precinct where the caucus is held.
- You must be eligible to vote (or will be by the next election).
- You can only caucus with one major party (Republican or /Democrat).
Why It Matters
Caucus night is where ordinary citizens become the voice of their communities.
It’s your chance to help shape your party’s platform, support candidates who share your values, and make your faith and convictions heard in government.
If you live in Senate District 44, the Republican Caucus will be held a John Glen Middle School, 1560 County Road B E, Saint Paul, MN 55109 7:00 PM. If you live out of the district all locations will be posted by January 14th on the SOS website.

A party platform is a written statement of what a political party believes and what it plans to do.
It outlines the party’s values, priorities, and the policies it supports on major issues. All Major parties have one.
