Iowa Caucus

In the context of United States of America Presidential elections, the Iowa Caucus is the first stepping stone for a candidate of either of the two principal U.S. parties to achieve their party's nomination as candidate for President of the United States. The caucuses are a statewide series of votes throughout the US State of Iowa which determines the number of delegates certain candidates will receive at the respective Party Conventions which will determine the candidate for next President of the United States. Although Iowa comprises roughly 1% of the population of the Union, the victor of the caucus receives a welcome momentum boost which culminates in the Super-Tuesday Primaries in February.
