In keeping with the ideal of the caucus as an informal grouping, little formal recognition is given to caucuses in Stanoral procedure. At the beginning of each legislative session, the caucuses may identify themselves and their leaders to the Recording Secretary, and Delegates may declare their caucus affiliation for the record.
