Help Select the Next President of the United States of America

"Nevada will now have a crucial vote in choosing our next Democratic presidential candidate. This means the Democrats vying to be our next president will debate the issues most important to Nevada and all of the West – such as water, immigration and planning for growth. Nevada Democrats can expect to shake hands with the people running for president and get to know their positions on the issues." - Sen. Steven Horsford, D-North Las Vegas

Here in Nevada, Democrats select their Presidential Candidate preference through a “caucus” system. Every four years, each Nevadan who is, a.) registered to vote and, b.) has selected their political party affiliation as “Democrat” is eligible to participate in the Presidential selection process.

In the Nevada Democratic Presidential Caucus, Democrats select their personal preference as to which candidate should be the Presidential nominee and then select delegates at the neighborhood, county, state and finally the national level.
Your active participation is needed to make sure Nevada’s voice is heard with the input of as many Democrats as possible. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1.) Precinct Caucus Meetings, dates TBD - Attend your precinct caucus meeting. At these meetings, you and your neighbors will indicate your personal selection for the next President of the United States or if you wish to remain uncommitted to any particular candidate. You’ll then select Delegates to your County Convention.

2.) County Democratic Conventions, dates TBD - Delegates representing the precincts in your county will deliberate on the issues of the day, approve the County Party Platform, and select representatives to the Nevada Democratic Party Convention.

3.) Nevada State Democratic Party Convention, dates TBD  – Delegates to the state convention will craft the Platform of the state party, select the state party’s officers and select the Delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Nevada Democrats will send a total of 32 Delegates and 4 Alternates to the national convention to be held in Denver, Colorado. Twenty-two of these delegates are elected by Congressional District or at-large. Nevada Democrats chosen to represent us will cast the state’s electoral votes for the Democratic Nominees for President and Vice-President of the United States.
