Iowa Democrats announce caucus sites for Jan. 15

The Iowa Democratic Party has released precinct locations for the 2024 Democratic presidential caucuses.

Iowa Democrats will caucus at 7 p.m. Jan. 15, 2024, the same day as Republicans.

The current list of caucus locations is available at iowademocrats.org/caucus. The list will continue to be updated between now and Caucus Day.

Iowa Democrats will need to find their regular voting precinct at the Iowa Secretary of State's website. Then, find their caucus site on the Iowa Democratic Party's website.

The party will hold in-person party-organizing caucuses but only to conduct party business unrelated to picking a presidential nominee. Business items include electing unbound delegates and alternate delegates to county conventions and county central committee members, and discussing platform resolutions that can be shared at county conventions.

Iowa Democrats will express their presidential preference using a new mail-in process and won’t announce results until March 5. The change came after national Democrats booted the state from its early nominating spot in an effort to better represent the party's demographics.

Democrats will be able to cast their presidential preference through the mail by requesting a preference card at iowademocrats.org/caucus.

The last day to submit a request is Feb. 19. Preference cards will be mailed starting Jan. 12.

For questions, call the IDP’s helpline at (515) 216-3893.

“It’s vital that Iowa Democrats show up to their caucus locations and get involved in our democratic process,” Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart said in a statement. “Iowans want to bring balance back to our state and the work to make that happen begins on January 15.”
