Delegate Selection Plan from the Nevada State Democratic Party. 2020 Election from the Nevada Secretary of State. |
Any person who is eligible to vote in the state of Nevada and will be at least 18 years old on Election Day, 3 November 2020, may participate. Participants must reside in the precinct in which they wish to participate and must be registered as a Democrat. Registration or change in party affiliation may occur on a caucus day. Early Voting is held 15 thru 18 February. The tallies are added to the 22 February caucus results. If an early voting or participant's first choice does not meet the viability threshold at the 22 February caucuses, their next choice(s) will be honored. Early vote participants may make up to five total choices in order of preference. "Strip Caucuses", where there is a large concentration of shift workers, will be on 22 February. Saturday 22 February 2020: Nevada Precinct Viability Caucuses. Hours begin at 10:00a PST (1800 UTC). Delegate Pledging: Proportional Caucus/Convention. Voter Eligibility: Closed Caucus/Convention.
Nevada's Democratic Viability Precinct Caucuses meet in each precinct. Voting begins at 12 noon PST. After the announcement of the initial caucus results, if there are any non-viable preference groups, caucus attendees in those non-viable preference groups may realign with a viable group. The viability percentage is determined by the number of precincts delegates to be elected (1 delegate: 50%, 2 delegates: 25%, 3 delegates: 16.6%, 4 or more delegates: 15%). Presidential preference is locked in at the final expression (either the first or second vote) of preference at the viability precinct caucuses. 23 of 49 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in proportion to the percentage of the support each candidate receives in county delegate equivalences. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at the congressional district and statewide levels. Here is how the Democratic Proportional Delegate Allocation Math works.
In addition, each Precinct Caucus chooses delegates to the County Conventions based on presidential preference. |
