Secure online voting begins February 14 to elect the IPO Caucus for 2012.

IPO members statewide will elect 5 persons to serve as delegates on the IPO Caucus, which manages the Party's consideration of qualifications of applicants to compete for nominations, decides nomination/endorsement processes for candidates for public office, and reviews potential endorsements regarding local and statewide measures.

IPO members may submit nominations for IPO Caucus delegates until 5 p.m. on February 12, 2012, by sending email to info@indparty.com with the name or names of proposed delegates and subject line "IPO Caucus Nomination." The IPO Bylaws state the qualifications for IPO Caucus delegates.

The IPO State Council will then compile a list of the qualified candidates and determine whether each is willing to serve on the IPO Caucus. Voting will begin on February 14 and end on February 28. During that period, IPO members will be able to vote online. Instructions will be posted on the IPO home page and sent to members who have provided us with their email addresses.

All votes must be received by February 28. The IPO State Council will announce the results on the following day.
