Want to change the direction of your political party? Hope to help a favorite candidate qualify for the primary election? Want to stop other candidates?
Caucus meetings in neighborhood precincts on Tuesday evening will provide such opportunities to Utah voters. Political party leaders — and even top LDS Church officials — are urging participation to guide the future of the state.
Republicans and Democrats will elect precinct officers, who help govern the party, plus delegates to state and county conventions. (Other smaller parties often allow all their members to serve as convention delegates if they choose.)
At conventions, delegates select the two top candidates running for a variety of offices to advance to a primary election.
