FARGO, N.D. (AP\/CSi) \u2014 North Dakota Democrats say they don’t expect coronavirus fears to dampen turnout in the state’s presidential caucuses. Participation was expected to be up sharply from four years ago. That’s mainly due to a format change that makes the caucuses function more like a traditional election.<\/p>\n

The 2020 North Dakota Democratic caucuses will take place on Tuesday, March 10, 2020,\u00a011 am to 7 pm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Locations across the state listed below.<\/p>\n

Voters have an eight-hour window where they can show up at 14 locations, cast their ballot and leave.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Republicans have eight voting locations in the state. State Democratic Party spokesman Alex Rohr says health officials are monitoring conditions, but he doesn’t expect the coronavirus scare to keep people from voting.\u00a0 Changes to this year’s format mean voters can cast a ballot and leave \u2014 much the same as they would in a state-run election.\u00a0 Both parties have mail-in ballots this year,\u00a0 with the mail in deadline passed, on March 5 this year.<\/p>\n
