Caucus Agenda in 12 Easy Steps
A Guide To Planning Your Day
From the moment of walking into Standley Lake High School to returning your precicnts’ Caucus packet to end the day, there are 12 steps for us to complete.
The diagram below notes the Caucus agenda for the afternoon. The completion of these steps is normally 3.5-4.0 hours. Therefore, please plan your day accordingly from 1pm, (check in), to ending Caucus between 4:30- 5pm in the afternoon.
Steps 1 and 2: These steps will begin as you walk into the high school. Upon checking in you will be advised of your precinct number. This number designates where you live within House District 29 and how you will gather with fellow Democrats of your precinct to complete your Caucus.
After checking in, you will proceed to the auditorium of the High School where the Call to Order will occur. At that time, you will hear from our three 2020 State House District 29 Candidates. (Click https://www.cohd29.com/house-district-29-2020-candidates/for more information). Also speaking will be our State Senator, Rachel Zenzinger, as well as our current House District 29 Representative Tracy Kraft- Tharp. (Click : https://www.cohd29.com/elected-officials/ for more information). As we will be selecting Delegates for U.S. Senate, you will also hear from the candidates running to represent us in the Senate in Washington. Finally, the rules of the Caucus as well as other important information regarding the day will be announced by our House District 29 Chair, Tom Jurgens, and our Caucus site coordinators.
Steps 3-12: After gathering in the auditorium, you will then move to the classroom where your precinct caucus will be held. Maps of the High School will be provided to you, as well as signs noted throughout the school to direct you to your precinct caucus classroom. The 3 digit number you were advised at check in regarding your precinct will be used to direct you to your designated classroom.
When arriving in the classroom, you will see a book and a packet of the directions you are to follow to complete your Caucus. Your first step is to find yourself in the precinct check in book located on the table. The book will note a list of names of all Democrats in your precinct. It is necessary for you to review your name and sign next to your name to verify you are a Democrat currently living in the precinct. After verifying your name in the book, you will proceed with the business of your precinct caucus.
Please see steps 3-11 noted in the picture below referring to the process you will complete. After finishing all steps in the booklet, please have your Caucus Chair or another designated individual return the booklet to the check out desk. The check out desk will be located in the hall where you entered the school.
