Theses series of Presidential primary elections and caucuses is one of the first steps in the process of electing the President of the United States of America. The primary elections are run by state and local government organizations. In States where they do not have caucuses. What is a caucus all about? A caucus is mostly defined as being a meeting of supporters or members of a political party or movement. The term is frequently used to discuss the caucuses used by some states to select presidential nominees, such as the Iowa caucuses. A state primary election usually determines which candidates for president will be supported by that state at the national convention of each political party.

Super Tuesday is approaching us. This is your time to vote. There will be Primaries/caucuses for both parties in 19 states, plus three Democratic-only caucuses and one Republican-only primary. I would like to remind the community to come out and vote in the February 5^th primary election.

January 16, 2008 was the last day to have registered and also the last date to change your party affiliation. If you want to vote in this primary coming up you must be registered as either a member of that party or un-enrolled. To vote in this up coming primary election you must be registered with one of the political parties, which are the, Democratic Party, Republican Party or the Green Party. If you are not registered to vote you will not be able to vote on the Primary Election Day. But remember if you miss voting in the primary elections you can still get registered, so that you can vote in the Presidential election for November 2008.
