Caucuses are not corporate entities and have no legal personality. They may not hold money or own property, collectively nominate or endorse candidates for office, or coördinate the activity of organisations that do participate in elections. Caucuses are legislative groups that do not exist outside the Stanora, and although executive-branch officials are often ideologically or historically linked to a particular caucus, they cannot be formal members. | Caucuses are not corporate entities and have no legal personality.

Because caucuses cannot own or rent property in their own name, most operate base their headquarters in private homes or condominia in the [[District of Coïnvra]] as guests of the owners, who are generally former members or longtime supporters of the caucus. Staff are not employed by the caucus itself, but instead belong to the "legislative strategy staff" of individual members and are "loaned out" to the caucus. | Because caucuses cannot own or rent property in their own name, some make use of a "headquarters foundation", a separate but supporting entity organised under political finance law, to hold down office space. The SRA and CNC use these. | ||

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. The Chancellor of the Stanora may call the caucus leaders to convene in a "committee of notables" in order to form a consensus on major pieces of legislation, but otherwise caucus leaders are not formally differentiated from rank-and-file Delegates. | In keeping with the ideal of the caucus as an informal grouping, little formal recognition is given to caucuses in Stanoral procedure.
