Iowa to Require In-Person Caucuses

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) “has signed a law requiring the Iowa caucuses to take place in person, potentially escalating a fight with Democrats who plan to offer a mail-in caucusing option in 2024,” the Des Moines Register reports.

“Reynolds signed the law Thursday. It passed the Iowa Legislature last month with only Republican support.”

“Iowa GOP leaders have said the in-person requirement is essential to protect Iowa’s first-in-the-nation status. Democrats say Republicans are undermining decades of bipartisan efforts to protect the caucuses by acting unilaterally.”
