The Nevada Caucus was held February 4, 2012
Read below to understand the caucus process...

Presidential Preference Poll

The choice of who you want to represent the Republican Party in the race for President

of the United States was once done in the Primary elections, typically in June. We still

have a Nevada primary election. All the local, state and U.S. Congress candidates are

on the primary ballot, but the vote for the presidential candidate is not.

The vote for the Presidential candidate is made in the caucus slated for February

4th,2011, in your precinct meeting. There you will have the opportunity to' speak for your

candidate of choice and then conduct a precinct vote. The results of the vote in your

precinct will be announced in your meeting. The results will, however, be done in a way

new for Nevada voters. This time, it is not a winner-take-all vote. It is a proportional

vote.

In a proportional vote, the number of Nevada delegates to the Republican National

Convention that are committed to a candidate depends on how well that candidate did

in the Presidential Preference Poll. For example, if candidate "A" received 25% (X) of

the votes overall when all the precinct results in Nevada are tallied, then candidate "A"

will have 25% of the Nevada delegates assigned to vote for him/her on the first round of

voting at the national convention.

Since we cannot cut a delegate into pieces, a candidate for President must earn at least

a whole delegate. The precinct meetings determine what a candidate gets, but who will

represent that candidate at the national convention is elected at the Nevada Republican

State Convention.

Basic Caucus Process: Members of the respective parties will meet with

other registered voters within their precinct to determine their preferred presidential

candidate and thereby award delegates to the candidates. These meetings are open to

the public, but only registered voters of the respective party may participate in the

selection process. Following a brief speech by supporters of each Presidential

candidate, caucus attendees vote in a Presidential Preference Poll. Caucus participants

will also have the ability to nominate those persons who will be the delegates. Delegate

is the title given to one person who represents one vote.
