Democratic caucuses to be held in Idaho today

UPDATED with new caucus location for Bannock County.

Idahoans will get the chance to weigh in on who should be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in tonight’s caucuses.

“It’s a lively event with people speaking on behalf of their candidate and actual debate and discussion amongst friends and neighbors before the final vote is held,” the state Democratic Party said on its website.
