Clayton County residents prepare to caucus on Monday, Feb. 1
By Shelia Tomkins
Clayton County residents will join Iowans across the state on Monday, Feb. 1, as the nation turns its attention to the results of the Iowa Presidential caucuses.
Voters from more than 1,700 voting precincts across the state will meet to select delegates to their respective county conventions. The 99 county conventions will then choose delegates for state party conventions, who in turn will subsequently head to the national conventions later this year.
In addition to selecting delegates and alternates, other business to be discussed at caucuses include adoption of proposed resolutions to add to county platforms and the election of precinct representatives to the county central committees.
