(ABC 6 News) – Despite the Iowa Caucus being a little over a month ago, Monday is the last day Iowans can request a presidential preference card from the Iowa Democratic Party.

In past years, a Democratic caucus brought people together in person to vote for their candidate. People then had to go to the opposite sides of a room to vote for their candidate and to make them viable. Now, Democrats will get a mail-in card to make their voice heard. That card needs to be requested by Monday, February 19.
