Download the latest version of Zoom at zoom.us/download. This short Zoom Preview presentation shows helpful Zoom features.
On March 2 and 3, ACDP will email Zoom meeting registration forms to everyone who signed up. After you fill out the form, you will get your personal Zoom Caucus link by email. Keep your personal Zoom link private. If you know someone else who wants to join, send them our sign-up form or tell them it's on our webpage so they can get their own link.
Plan to limit non-Caucus internet use on Caucus night. This will help your Zoom connection stay steadier. If more than one member of your household will be joining the Caucus, you should probably share one device. Plan to tell your Caucus chair the name of each person joining the Zoom with you!
You may want to plan an early dinner.
6:00 - 7:00 pm: Check-in. Use your personal Zoom link to join the meeting.
A volunteer will check your name and invite you to a House District (HD) breakout. This may take up to several minutes, and your patience will be appreciated. When you see the Join button for the HD breakout, click it!
If you are invited to the "Find My HD" breakout, join that breakout so a specialized volunteer can find the right HD for you. (This is more likely if you are a Caucus Guest or a confidential voter.)
In your HD breakout: The meeting will not start till at least 7:00 pm. While you wait, you can chat with other caucusers, have dinner, a bathroom break, read the Caucus Rules.
7:00 pm - 8:00/9:00 pm (estimate): The Caucus meeting should begin at 7 or shortly after. Mute yourself. The HD Caucus Chair will lead the meeting. Listen.
One or more volunteers will put ballot links into the chat. Eligible Caucus voters will have a few minutes to fill out each ballot. Caucus Guests, this will be break time for you.
For County Delegate and Precinct Organizer candidates:
If you filled out the Caucus sign-up on or before Feb. 18, look for your name on the ballot.
If you filled out the Caucus sign-up on or after Feb. 19, or if your name is otherwise missing, use the write-in field to enter your name on the ballot.
Important: At the bottom of your ballot, there is a button to submit your vote. You must click that button in order for your vote to be counted.
After all Caucus business is finished, there may be other discussion or meet & greet time. Each HD Caucus Chair will decide the post-meeting plan for that HD's breakout.
What if I am late? You may still join the Caucus. Eligible Caucus voters may participate in any business that hasn't been finished yet. Guests may join and observe.
ACDP volunteers will review the Caucus ballots and verify the results.
County Delegates will be confirmed first. Every confirmed elected County Delegate -- and ONLY confirmed elected County Delegates -- will receive an OFFICIAL CALL to the March 7 County Assembly by email. A provisional copy of the call is posted here for planning purposes.
Precinct Organizers (PO) will be confirmed and notified later in March. Whether you are a PO candidate or not, you're encouraged to find your House District (HD) meetings on our calendar.
Election Judges are recruited at Caucus but not elected. ACDP volunteers will send the Arapahoe County Elections Division a list of registered Democrats who signed up for election judge. Elections Division staff will use that information to hire election judges. Anyone interested in being hired as an election judge can also read more and apply at https://www.arapahoeco.gov/your_county/arapahoevotes/get_involved/become_an_election_judge.php
