Idaho Democrats caucus Tuesday; Sanders visits Monday

When? Where? Democrats caucus in all 44 counties Tuesday beginning at 7 p.m., when the doors close. Officials recommend that attendees check in an hour early. To find locations or learn more, visit the Idaho Democratic Party's page through this link. Reserving in advance will cut your check-in time, but you can just show up.

What goes on at the caucuses? Voters debate on and select a Democratic presidential candidate and 384 delegates to represent that candidate at the state party convention in June. Idaho will send 27 delegates and two alternates to the national nominating convention in Philadelphia in July.

Who can participate? Any eligible voter, regardless of party affiliation who did not vote in the March 8 Republican primary, can caucus in the county where they reside — including 17-year-olds who will be 18 by Election Day, Nov. 8.

What’s Sanders doing Monday? Rallying at Taco Bell Arena at Boise State University. Doors open at 9 a.m. It’s free to the public, but attendees are asked to RSVP.
