Otter Tail County DFL Announces February 3, 2026 Precinct Caucus Locations

 

Otter Tail Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) members will gather on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at one of the seven sites around the County to learn about this year’s candidates, debate resolutions for the Party Platform, elect new precinct chairs, and select delegates for the upcoming conventions.

 

“Our precinct caucuses signal the start of the 2026 elections in Minnesota, which are sure to be some of the most fiercely contested political battles in our state's history,” said Betty Windom-Kirsch Otter Tail County DFL Chair. The way we win in 2026 is by organizing and building power at the grassroots level, which is exactly what DFLers will be doing in community centers and school gymnasiums across Minnesota. The DFL is a people-powered party and our precinct caucuses give everyone, from seasoned activists to the newly engaged, a chance to weigh in on the party's platform, elect local leaders, and shape the future of the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party.  We encourage all Minnesotans whether they are Democratic, Republican, or Independent, to attend their precinct caucuses, engage with their neighbors, and make their voices heard.
