City of Buffalo issued the following announcement on Jan. 29.
For most of its existence, when it has come to nominating candidates for President of the United States, Minnesota has used the caucus system – a meeting of like-minded citizens that select delegates for their political party of choice.
However, on March 3, known as Super Tuesday in political circles, Minnesota will select its presidential delegates by going to the polls for a Presidential Nomination Primary. It’s only the fifth time Minnesota has used a primary to determine delegates – the other four being 1916, 1952, 1956 and 1992.
One of the main differences between the primary and caucus systems is that primary elections are run by the state, while caucuses are run by the political parties themselves. With the switchover to the primary, voters who have participated in elections will find a significant difference in one key respect – they will have to tell the election judge what party they are voting for.
Please check out the Wright County website for all of the details of Super Tuesday.
