Save time on Caucus Night by preregistering with a nonattendee form
No matter if you do plan to attend on April 8 or if you can’t make it, there is benefit to completing an online nonattendee form before April 5. If you do attend in-person, then this saves time and helps confirm your caucus location. If you can’t attend, then this is a back-up that nominates you to be a delegate.
