Anyone Know when the ND, GOP/DEM caucuses or primaries will be? Can't seem to find any definitive answers online. Probably meaningless in the big picture, as we're a tiny state with few delegates, but I'd like to Know when we get our turn.
You probably should've posted this is a board that people actually use.
ND doesn't have a state Presidential primary so it's on the states to come up with their own system. GOP is doing a caucus and it appears ND-GOP has picked Monday March 4th, the day before Super Tuesday. This sounds weird but the GOP only penalizes states for going before March without permission, which has opened up several weird states to move into slots before March 5th but after March 1st (looks like Idaho's shooting for Saturday March 2nd for its caucus). I say "it appears" because, well, it appears Green Papers (the best site for this sort of thing) still has "March 4th, Presumptive Date" and it hasn't been locked down, but Green Papers claims the ND GOP Chair said March 4th is what they're shooting for.
ND Dems are doing a "party run primary" on April 6th. Party run primaries are for people who hate caucuses but can't get state funding to throw a primary and basically means that the state Democratic Party will have to rent or borrow a number of venues across the state as polling places for the day. Nevertheless, the results will function like a regular primary.
