Suddenly, there is only one month until the Iowa Caucuses. If you’re like me and have never participated in a caucus, the video below shows what it’s actually like.

Keep in mind, only around 25% of registered voters show up to the Iowa Caucuses, so your vote really does count!

  • Iowa Caucus 2012 Republican turnout: 121,503/614,913 (19.5%)
  • Iowa Caucus 2008 Republican turnout: 119,200/576,231 (20%)
  • Iowa Caucus 2008 Democratic turnout: 239,872/606,209 (39%)
  • Iowa Caucus 2004 Democratic turnout: 124,331/533,107 (23%)
