Anyone who votes in the 2008 Texas primary. Either on the day of the caucus - March 4 OR "early vote" OR absentee. You can merely sign that you did vote - as this acts as an affidavit (oath) to grant you the legal right to caucus. It may be helpful but not required to have your voter registration card stamped, or your voting receipt handy in case of attempted hanky-panky. Each caucus location has a packet that defines the rules. If in doubt about anything, ask to see the rule from the packet. And, take names and pictures if things seem fishy. You don't have to be on time either, but they will not wait for you, and they can't go back. You can probably find your polling and caucus location here for you and your friends: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/county.shtml Polls for the Democratic presidential primary are open from 7:00am until 7:00pm. Any voter in line by 7:00pm must be permitted to vote. Precinct conventions begin at 7:15pm, immediately after the polls close. The precinct conventions are open to anyone who voted in the Democratic presidential primary.
