Iowa Caucuses

The Iowa caucuses are an electoral event in which residents of the U.S. state of Iowa meet in precinctcaucuses in all of Iowa's 1,774 precincts and elect delegates to the corresponding county conventions.

Iowa caucuses have served as an early indication of which candidates for president might win the nomination of their political party at that party's national convention, and which ones could drop out for lack of support.
