Caucus Information and Preference Card Request Page - Iowa Democratic Party

The Iowa caucuses are not conducted by our office, since they are not an election. The caucuses are meetings conducted by the three full status political parties (Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian), which set the rules, locations, and procedures.

All three parties had a caucus at 7 PM Monday, January 15. The Republicans and Libertarians had presidential voting at their caucuses. The Democrats only conducted party business at their caucuses and are in the process of holding a mail-in presidential vote. It is against the law to participate in more than one party's caucus (i.e. if you attended the Republican or Libertarian caucus you cannot also request a ballot for the Democratic mail-in vote.)

All parties require caucus attendees to register with the party in order to participate, and allowed registration and re-registration on caucus night.

Johnson County Democratic Caucus Locations

The Iowa Democratic Party has made major changes to its caucus process for 2024. On January 15, Democrats met for party business only. Presidential voting will be entirely conducted by mail and is still going on.

Democrats may now request a "presidential preference card" (ballot) from the Iowa Democratic Party. Ballots will be mailed beginning January 12. The request deadline is February 19, and ballots must be postmarked by March 5 to be counted. Please note that it is against Iowa law to participate in more than one party's caucus - if you attended the Republican or Libertarian caucus, you cannot request a ballot from the Democrats.

The Iowa Democratic Party will announce results of the mail-in vote on March 5. Delegates to the congressional district, state, and national conventions will be allocated based on the results of the mail-in vote.

Past Johnson County Caucus Results

Because the caucuses aren't elections, we're not in charge of results. The results below were provided by the parties or reported to the press.

Through 2016, Democrats reported only delegate counts and attendance, and no vote totals.

Republicans did not hold straw polls in years when a Republican president was seeking re-election (1984, 1992, 2004), but did hold a straw vote in 2020.
