Caucuses Remain But With A Twist

2024 Voting is About to Begin: Iowa Caucuses and Beyond

Caucuses Remain, But With a Twist

Eligible voters must be at least 18 years old by Nov 5 2024, which is general election day. The Iowa caucuses will take place at 7 pm 15 at precinct locations across the state. Iowa Democrats will still hold party caucuses on Jan 15 but they won't be voting that day on whom they support for president.

Key Dates to Remember

* **Jan 15, 2024, 6:53 PM PST:** Ron DeSantis, former President Donald Trump, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley announce their presidential candidacies. * **Jan 15, 2024:** Republicans in Iowa will be the first to cast their votes in support of a presidential candidate in the 2024 election.

Much of what you think you know about the Iowa caucuses may no longer be applicable in 2024. In fact, the Republican Party of Iowa (RPI) has made significant changes to the caucus process, making it more accessible and less time-consuming for participants.

Under the new rules, Republicans will gather at their precinct caucus locations at 7 p.m. on Jan. 15, 2024. They will then have 30 minutes to complete the following steps:

1. Select a presidential preference candidate.
2. Elect delegates to the county convention.
3. Conduct any other business that is permitted by the RPI.

Once the 30-minute caucus is complete, the precinct chairs will report the results to the RPI. The RPI will then release the statewide results, which will determine how many delegates each candidate receives to the state convention.
