Party Caucuses
Utah will hold neighborhood party caucuses this coming Tuesday (March 21). If you care about the political process, you have to be there. Party caucuses choose delegates who choose candidates at party conventions in May. The meeting lasts 60-90 minutes in most cases and you’ll be given the opportunity to nominate and vote for people in your neighborhood to represent you at the party conventions. Getting candidates who represent you views starts with electing delegates who think like you do.
You can get information about the Democratic Party Caucuses and the Republican Party Caucuses on their Web sites. If you have information on caucus meetings for other parties, please leave it in a comment.

For the convenience of our members and candidates, the Libertarian Party of Utah forgoes the wasteful, special-interest manipulated, closed caucus system used by Utah's two incumbent parties, and nominates all of our candidates for partisan office at our open nominating convention.
Our nominating convention (for all federal, state, and county candidates) will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2006, beginning at 10 a.m., in the Salt Lake County Government Center, 2001 South State Street, Room N1100, in Salt Lake City.

Our caucus meeting was relatively uneventful and actually quite enlightening. However, I hear some others were quite contentious, including the one hosted by the Salt Lake County Republican chair James Evans. I hear there were some that were well attended by the voucher liberals which is of some concern--I believe things should be about several issues, not just 1 big special-interest one. How were others?
