You Can Caucus

The College Democrats of Iowa have a website out called You Can Caucus. The site is a response to David Yepsen and candidates like Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd that have questioned if it is right for Iowa college students who are from out-of-state to caucus.

Lately, some Democratic candidates and journalists have been questioning whether students like us deserve to caucus, questioniong whether we’re Iowans. Nine months of the year, we live here, we go to school here, and we pay taxes here. We care about Iowa.

It is our right - affirmed by both the letter and spirit of the law - to caucus.

We will exercise our rights by participating in the Democratic caucuses next month and you can too.

Both the Iowa Democratic Party and the Iowa Secretary of State agree:

ALL IOWA STUDENTS CAN REGISTER TO VOTE IN IOWA AND CAUCUS

This webpage was set up to help you exercise your right to caucus. We have detailed information about who can caucus, what you need to caucus, how to find your caucus, ways to get housing and transportation to caucus if you need them, and even a way for you to tell US what YOUR caucus story is.
