Caucus Finder

Beginning January 18, voters will be able to look up their caucus location on the OSS’ Caucus Finder at http://caucusfinder.sos.state.mn.us

This website works just like our polling place finder and will provide voters with the location of the Independence, Republican, Democratic and Green party caucuses for their precinct. If the party has not yet provided a location for a precinct caucus, the voter can click on the name of the party to be taken to their website for contact information.
