4. Don’t know your ward and precinct? No problem! You can find your ward and precinct here: https://pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us/ For example, mine is W-4 P-01. This means that I would caucus with my fellow Democrats at the Ward 4 caucus site. My precinct is P1. You can also call it W4-P1. If you’d rather see a map, go to the County Elections website maps here.
5. Can’t make the caucus and still want to participate? Fill out this form called the Letter of Nomination 2019 (also referred to as the Proxy letter) and email it directly to your Ward chair BEFORE Sunday, March 10th.
