Democrats Set for 25000 Caucus Turnout in Des Moines
Dem States Central Committee executive secretary Clark Rasmussen predicts more than 25 000 Democrats will convene Monday March 28 for precinct caucuses marking the first time these meetings elect precinct committeemen and committeewomen rather than at a primary. The 1965 Iowa legislature changed the voting method to favor active party participants. Rasmussen notes the endorsement system raises caucus importance as 2 478 precincts select delegates to county and legislative district conventions where endorsements occur. Delegates are apportioned by a state formula based on Hughes 1964 vote, with Polk County holding over 860 delegates. counties under 4000 Hughes votes use a 50 vote per delegate rule. County conventions are May 6 and legislative conventions June 24. Republicans caucus May 2.
