Why Attend Caucus?
Have you ever been dissatisfied with Democratic candidates on the ballot or the Democratic Party platform? Caucus is your opportunity to have an impact. Caucus is literally grass roots democracy in action.
Attendees at caucus help choose the candidates that will appear on the Democratic primary ballot, elect their precinct organizers and start the process of developing the county and state platforms. Note you must be a registered as Democrat and your registration must reflect your current address by Feb. 11, 2022 in order to be eligible to participate in caucus. Update your registration.
Please Help Us Fund Caucus and Assembly
The El Paso County Democratic Party is required by state statute to hold caucus and assembly. However, we receive no outside funds to run these events. Please consider donating to help the El Paso County Democratic party put on caucus and assembly events. Expenses include online platforms, literature, communications, site location fees and advertising.
Caucus Overview
We are doing caucus a little differently this year due to COVID and a desire to increase accessibility for all. Please read this overview thoroughly.
Caucus will be a hybrid meeting. Persons may attend in-person at a designated caucus site or on-line via Zoom Events. In-person attendees must wear masks and show proof of vaccination. Virtual attendees must install the zoom application on their device and create a free zoom account, using the email address they plan to use to attend caucus.
For more information on attending Zoom Events, see Zoom Support.
Doors to the event will open at the in-person sites and virtual Zoom sign-in will begin at 1 PM. All participants (physical or virtual) are requested to arrive no later than 1:30 PM to allow ample time for sign in and registration checking. The Caucus event will begin promptly at 2:00 PM.
