2024 Presidential Caucuses Date Set by Iowa Republicans

The Republican Party of Iowa has announced that their first-in-the-nation presidential caucus will be held on January 15, 2024, which coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Democratic National Committee plans to reshuffle its nominating calendar, potentially disrupting both parties. Iowa Democrats proposed changes to the caucus process, including mail-in participation, but did not have input on the choice of the date. It remains unclear how a January 15 Democratic caucus would be received by the DNC and New Hampshire, which holds the first primary. Iowa Republicans passed a law to bar mail-in participation, hoping to retain their position at the front of the line.
