This weekend, Missouri Republicans can make their voice heard in the presidential primary process, but it won't be the same way they have in recent races.
Missouri lawmakers in 2022 intentionally canceled the state's presidential primary as part of a broader elections bill backed by Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft that also imposed photo identification requirements for voting. Though leaders of the state Republican and Democratic parties both testified in favor of reinstating a presidential primary, lawmakers this year failed to pass legislation doing so, meaning the state's delegates will be allocated through the caucus process. Instead of voting in a Tuesday primary at traditional polling places, people wanting to participate in the caucuses will need to attend a Saturday meeting of local Republicans.
To participate in the caucus, you must be a registered voter in Missouri and the county in which you plan to caucus. Voters are also required to sign a pledge of allegiance to the Missouri Republican Party.
"I believe in the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and a strong national defense," the pledge says. "I commit to upholding the values of the Republican Party and to working to advance its goals."
Eligible candidates are Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, David Stuckenberg and Ryan Binkley.
All counties will be caucusing at 10 a.m. on March 2, 2024. Voters are asked to arrive early so they have enough time to check-in.
