   The date, time, and place of each precinct caucus of a political party shall be published at least twice, either in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the precinct or on an official social media account of the political party. The first publication shall be made not more than fifteen days nor less than seven days before the date of the caucus and the second shall be made not more than seven days before and not later than the date of the caucus. Such publication shall also state in substance that each voter affiliated with the specified political party may attend the precinct caucus.

The cost of such publication, if any, shall be paid by the political party.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill allows a political party to publish notice of the date, time, and place of each precinct caucus on an official social media account of the political party instead of in a newspaper of general circulation in the precinct.
