Here’s The Date For The Washington State Presidential Caucus

The Iowa Caucus was a huge success on February 1st, now Super Tuesday has come and gone, and a lot of people in Washington state were left puzzled as to why they didn't receive their voting ballot in the mail to nominate a presidential candidate for 2016.

The answer is simple, presidential candidates are nominated in a state caucus, two to be exact: Republican and Democratic caucuses. CNBC reminded me that there are only a handful of states that actually have a caucus: Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming.

The Republican caucus for Washington state was already held on Saturday, February 20, 2016. So if you were planning to vote for your favorite Republican candidate, you missed your chance. You'll have to wait until the 2016 general election to do so after the nominee has been declared.

The Washington State Democratic caucus is quickly approaching on its March 26th date at 10AM. If you want to find the nearest location to participate in the 2016 Democratic caucus to nominate either Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton for president, click here.

I signed up for the Democratic caucus a few days ago and my hope is that I will be nominated by caucus attendees as a super delegate so that I will be able to attend the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July!
