Key Points:
- The caucus system is a unique method used in some US states to select political party candidates for elections.
- Instead of casting secret ballots like in a traditional primary election, caucus participants gather in person and publicly express their support for a particular candidate.
- During caucuses, participants engage in discussions, debates, and persuasion to sway others to support their preferred candidate.
- The caucus system often involves multiple rounds of voting, with participants realigning their support if their preferred candidate does not meet a certain threshold.
Why in news?
- Republicans in the US state of IOWA will be the first to vote for their presidential candidate in the 2024 elections when they attend CAUCUS.
