Precinct caucuses are coming on Tuesday, March 7 at 7 p.m. The caucuses are an integral component of Minnesota's civic life.
Recently we've marked great achievements in civic engagement: the highest voter turnout in the nation in the past three elections, and the highest 18-to-24-year-old voter turnout in state history, at nearly 70 percent. We have made great strides in recruiting enough election judges to address shortages that existed before 2000. We have improved laws and increased promotions, especially for young people, and ultimately, we have inspired participation.
Precinct caucuses are a great way to get even more people involved. I encourage everyone to participate and recruit others to do the same. For more information about precinct caucuses and an informational brochure, see www.sos.state.mn.us . -- Mary Kiffmeyer, Minnesota Secretary of State
