Never been to a caucus? Not sure how it works? Learn more about the process below!

We encourage Minnesotans to show support for their preferred candidates by participating in the candidate endorsement process that leads up to the state party conventions.

Going to a caucus is a great way to show support for a candidate, raise an issue that’s important to you, influence who the party will endorse for many offices, and meet people in your community.

Caucus basics

When and where will precinct caucuses be held?

The 2026 precinct caucuses are scheduled to be held on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. DFL and Republican state party chairs have until March 1, 2025 to agree to a different date. They will take place at locations set by the parties. (see M.S. 202A.14) Parties share these locations with the Secretary of State, and voters can find the caucus location for their address with the Caucus Finder tool.

What is a precinct caucus?

Precinct caucuses are meetings run by Minnesota’s political parties. They are the first in a series of meetings where parties may endorse candidates, select delegates, and set goals and values (called party platforms). Statewide precinct caucuses take place on a specific date in even years as described above. Contact parties for information about other meetings, including those in odd years.

What happens at the caucus?

Each political party runs their caucus meetings a little differently. Check with your political party if you have specific questions. Generally, there are three main activities at a caucus:

1. Choose volunteers who will organize political activities in the precinct. This could include maintaining contact lists, holding political meetings, and helping with campaign efforts.

2. Discuss issues and ideas for the party to support. You can present an issue or idea for the party to support, called a resolution. If you convince other attendees to support your resolution, it will be taken to the next political convention. Eventually, your resolution could become part of the official party platform.

3. Choose delegates who will endorse candidates at future conventions. At future conventions, party delegates will endorse state and federal candidates, including for Governor. Political parties have different ways of choosing delegates at the precinct level caucus—contact your party for more information.
