Nevada has held caucuses since the 1960s, but this will be the state’s earliest and most significant caucus. The eyes of the nation will be on Nevada on Jan. 19, 2008, as Nevada is the second state in the nation to hold a caucus to express preferences for a presidential nominee. Thousands of national and local media outlets will be watching closely and waiting on that Saturday to report the results of Nevada’s caucus.
Democrats will meet at their designated sites at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2008. Once there, caucus participants will express their preference for a presidential candidate and talk about local politics. They will also make recommendations for the party's county central committee, which governs local party affairs. They also elect delegates to the county conventions in the spring.
