Otter Tail Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) members will gather on Tuesday, February 27, 2024 at one of the seven sites around the County to learn about this year’s candidates, discuss local issues, debate resolutions for the Party Platform, elect new precinct chairs, and select delegates for the upcoming conventions.
“Our precinct caucuses signal the start of the 2024 elections in Minnesota and offer all Minnesotans the opportunity to get involved,” said DFL Chairman Ken Martin. “The DFL Party runs on the dedication of grassroot organizers and community members, and precinct caucuses are where it begins. Across Minnesota, DFLers will gather in community centers and school gymnasiums to shape the future of the party by discussing the DFL platform, electing local leaders, and beginning the process of candidate endorsement. Caucuses offer Minnesotans a voice in the DFL Party, and I encourage all Minnesotans to attend their precinct caucuses and advocate for the change they want to see in their communities.”
