After introductions from local Party and Elected Officials, the facilitator will explain the proceeding and encourage participants to go to the designated area for their choice of candidate. Participants can discuss among themselves and designate a representative for their campaign. After 10 minutes, each campaign will be given time to make a speech supporting their candidate. Campaigns may chose multiple spokespersons but each campaign will be given equal time (6 minutes maximum). Afterwards there will be 10 minutes in which undecided voters may approach candidate groups to ask questions privately.
At the conclusion of this period, voters will choose a campaign by joining one of the groups. Up until the moment the final count is announced, voters may move freely from each group to another. The facilitator will announce the final count at which time the voters are locked in and a campaign representative will count voters in their group. Caucus staff will verify the campaign’s count before it is announced.
