REPUBLICAN PROCESS Voters must be a resident of Iowa and a registered member of the Republican Party. You can register or switch registration at the precinct if you have a photo ID and second proof of address. During the caucus, a supporter of each candidate may give a short nominating speech. After the speeches, voting is conducted by secret ballot. Following the voting, the caucus chooses delegates for the county caucuses on March 12. This year, for the first time, delegates to the national convention will be proportionally bound to vote for candidates on the first ballot based on the outcome of the precinct-level voting. 30 delegates are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. Each candidate receives (candidate's statewide vote) × 30 ÷ (total statewide vote) delegates. Round fractions to the nearest whole number. If there are too few delegates allocated, the candidate nearest the rounding threshold receives the additional delegate. If too many delegates are allocated, the candidate furthest the threshold looses a delegate. Full explanation here. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS Voters must be a resident of Iowa and a registered member of the Democratic Party. You can register or switch registration at the precinct. You will not need to show ID. During the caucus, a supporter of each candidate may give a short nominating speech. After the speeches, voting is conducted by having supporters of each candidate stand in a different corner of the room. You may also choose to stand with "uncomitted" people as a group. Supporters are then counted. Any group with less than 15% of the total participants in the caucus is declared non-viable and those supporters may choose to stand with a different group. During this choosing, members of the viable groups have an opportunity to lobby and entice the non-viable supporters to join them, typically through yelling and chants. The count is then conducted again until all groups are viable. NOTE: Estimates will, of course, be made by media outlets as well as by the campaigns of the presidential contenders themselves as to how many of Iowa's 52 National Convention delegates each presidential contender is likely to be ultimately be receiving as a result of the Iowa caucuses but, of course, since no National Convention delegates are actually being chosen by these caucuses, all such estimates will almost certainly, come the District Conventions in April and the State Convention in June, be wrong!! At each caucus, each presidential contender who fails to get at least 15 percent support among the participants in the initial balloting after a period of discussion will be considered "non-viable" and all supporters of such "non-viable" presidential contenders will then be required to join in the support of presidential contenders who have remained "viable". To determine the viability of a presidential contender, multiply the number of eligible caucus attendees by the percentages below and round to the nearest whole number. This is the minimum number of delegates needed for the contender to remain viable. - 50% (majority vote) for caucuses electing 1 delegate. - 25% (one quarter) for caucuses electing 2 delegates. - 16.66...% (one sixth) for caucuses electing 3 delegates. - 15% for caucuses electing 4 or more delegates. Here's the full delegate selection plan. My advice is to not try to understand it. The number of delegates from each precinct caucus will be transmitted to the state party which will announce which candidates have won which of the 1,406 delegates to the county conventions. In addition to the 44 delegates which will later be assigned at the district and state conventions, there are 8 party leader delegates who will attend the national convention.

Concerned Citizen posted:it's not. iowa is a caucus in order to prevent a conflict with new hampshire. new hampshire law says it must be the first state in the nation to have a primary. iowa only needs to have the first presidential preference by 8 days, so iowa runs a caucus so that both states don't have mutually contradicting laws. Sure they can, they just need the RNC to side with them over NH. The NH state law is a signal of the state's passion for being first, but the only person bound by it is the NH Secretary of State.

The other barrier to changing from a caucus to a primary is that primaries are paid for by the state, so you have to convince the legislature to set aside a couple million to administer a special election, or hold it late in the spring to coincide with legislative primaries. Caucuses are paid for by the parties and are a good opportunity for them to build their local organizations.

Jose posted:why is iowa of all places so important Their state party chair decided to distribute a copy of the rules to everyone who participated in the state, district, county, and precinct caucuses in 1972. They knew they were having the state one in May, so he asked the guy in charge of printing how long he'd need and, having only an old mimeograph machine he said he'd need a month of lead time for each level. Counting back from May, that put the precinct caucuses in January and that's how Iowa came first.

a cop posted:Are they actually going to have cameras INSIDE the caucuses where the people are giving speeches to support their candidates and poo poo? Yes, but all the cable networks are just going to have it running split-screen while some hack pundit tells you what they think. C-SPAN usually shows some of the speeches, but they also love to cut away for callers. Then again, C-SPAN callers are great.
