The 2014 Democratic Caucuses will take place this evening, beginning at 7 in the Knoxville High School Commons Area. Democratic Chairperson Anita Martin says the doors will open at 6. The 17 wards and townships in Marion County will meet in a large group format first for instruction, then will break into individual precincts. Martin says each precinct will have a leader, and a guidebook to refer to. She says proposed platform issues will be read and voted on to be accepted individually or as a whole. Delegates and alternates to the county convention and the precinct committee chair people will be elected as well.
