(CNN) For the first time ever, Iowa Democrats will get a chance to caucus in the Caucasus.

The voters are scheduled to get together on Monday morning in Tbilisi, the capital of the former Soviet republic. Held in the home of American journalist Joshua Kucera, the Tbilisi Iowa Democratic caucus will be one of three "satellite" events held abroad, along with Paris and Glasgow.

This is the first time Iowans can caucus away from their home state. Caucuses previously required voters to participate at a singular time and location, but the Democratic National Committee changed the rules after the 2016 election to accommodate people who might not be able to make their regularly scheduled vote.

When Colyn Burbank found out about the new rules, he jumped at the opportunity. The Scotland-residing Iowan filled in the application, knowing at least six people would attend. Now he has "close to 10" coming to caucus, including some traveling from London.

"It's gonna be crowded," he told CNN. "My wife and I, we have a two and a half year old daughter and we have other friends who are coming and they have a two year old, we have a cat ... that's kind of the whole beauty of these caucuses, that they're a meeting of neighbors."
