Utah Democratic Caucus Night will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Caucuses take place statewide on the same evening, with meetings organized by neighborhood. Pre-register to receive your exact caucus location, reminders, and important updates.

A Neighborhood Caucus meeting is a local gathering to elect new Precinct Officers and Delegates to the Democratic Party. Some counties have a county-wide caucus night, and others will do a caucus night in smaller groups.

Precinct Officers are the grassroots organizers in the Democratic Party. Each precinct has an opening for a Chair, and Vice-Chair. Together, Precinct Officers work to organize their neighborhoods. The County Party provides training and tools to help you organize your neighborhood along the way so you always have support. Precinct Chairs and Vice-Chairs also serve on the County Party Central Committee, which is the governing body of the County Party.

A delegate is an elected representative to the county political party from their precinct. Delegates are elected at the Precinct Caucus meetings. Any registered voter who will be age 18 by the general election and has lived in Utah at least 30 days immediately before the next election can be a delegate.

• Delegates represent their precinct and attend & vote at all County Party Conventions.

• Depending on the county you live in, a county party delegate may also be a state party delegate. Contact your county party to determine the process for becoming a state delegate.

• Delegates assist Precinct Chairs with political organizing in their legislative district.

• Delegates vote on the content of their party platforms and governing documents.

Other Things to remember:

• Delegates are elected for two-year terms.

• Each county is allocated a specific number of delegates, and

• Delegates can attend free training on how to make a big impact as a neighborhood organizer – beyond just voting at Convention.

• Attend and vote at ALL County Party Conventions and give prompt notice to the Precinct and House District Chair if unable to attend. (Time commitment is about 10 hours per year.)

• Assist the Precinct Chair with political organizing at the precinct & legislative district levels.

It is up to the leadership of each County Party to decide if their Caucus Night will be in person, virtual, or hybrid.

Any voter can participate regardless of party affiliation as long as they do not participate in the Republican caucus night (which will be held on the same night).

County and State Conventions take place after Caucus Night and are where delegates nominate Democratic candidates for office.

County Conventions focus on local races. Delegates elected at Caucus Night attend their County Convention to vote on candidates and conduct party business.

The Utah Democratic Party State Convention is Saturday, April 25 at Jordan High School in Sandy, Utah. Delegates elected at Caucus Night and County Conventions attend the State Convention to nominate candidates for state and federal offices.

Only delegates eligible to vote at conventions, which is why participating in caucus is so important.
