Election 2014: A Guide to Woodbury's Feb. 4 Caucuses

Minnesota’s precinct caucuses are slated for Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. Find the location of your caucus by visiting the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website or see below for details.

Woodbury residents are represented by senate district 53, 53A or 53B. This November, numerous positions, including governor and U.S. Senator, will be elected. 

What's a caucus?

Minnesota’s major political parties are required to hold caucuses during each statewide election year.

A caucus is the first step for the party to select candidates and choose the party platform. However, at a caucus, there is more going on than just candidate selection. Participants also may select county committee chairs for state and national conventions.
