BREAKING NEWS: VOTE on Saturday 19 oclcock!
- I am a Democrat, does that mean I cannot participate in the Republican Caucus this year?
Not unless you refuse to even consider becoming a Republican for one day. . According to the Republican website, ANY registered voter is “more than welcome to participate in the Republican caucus.”Again, you need to be a registered voter and be willing to sign a form that states that you “consider yourself to be a republican” and will not participate in any other parties caucus this year.
- In the past, I’ve voted for Democrats, does that mean I cannot participate in the Republican Caucus this year?
Again no No according to the Republican website.
- Who should I vote for? That is entirely YOUR decision. In my own case I intend to vote with complete sincerity for Rick Santorum because I think he is the only Republican candidate who is willing to present an honest point of view. I believe that a Santorum vs. Obama race will yield the best discussion of the issues facing our nation. There are even some issues on which I agree with Santorum. Drop me a comment.
- Where do I vote: Go to this website to find out.
- Do I need to register or notify my county party prior to participating?
No. As long as you are registered to vote you just need to show up where your precinct is caucusing.
- Is my vote going to be made public?
No.There are two parts to the caucus. When you sign in, you will be asked to state your presidential preference – this will be considered your vote for the presidential straw poll. This vote will not be made available to the general public. Your presence at the caucus, however, might become public knowledge.Then at the caucus you will undertake the important business of electing delegates. This is your vote that actually counts. The Straw poll is just a snapshot of who caucus attendees support, but the ultimate determiner of which candidates wins Washington’s delegates will be the delegates elected at the precincts caucuses.
- When are the caucuses?
The precinct caucuses are on March 3, they begin at 10 AM and will end around noon. We recommend arriving 30 minutes early to check in. Go to this website to find out where to caucus.
