Standing Rules, Nevada Republican Party Winter Meeting, and NV Republicans plan delegate vote on same day as Democratic caucus from the Nevada Republican Party.

At their 7 September 2019, the Nevada Republican Party state central committee will consider Resolution R-108 to amend their delegate selection to provide for an alternative presidential poll. "If the NRCC Executive Committee determines that a statewide presidential poll is unnecessary to determine the will of the majority of registered Nevada Republican voters it may, at its sole discretion, call for a poll among the members of the NRCC to determine proportional allocation and binding of delegates and alternates ... The Alternative Presidential Preference Poll may only be used when there is an incumbent Republican President ...."

The above change would effective transfer the Presidential Preference vote from the precinct caucuses to the 20 member state central committee.

22 February 2020: The Nevada GOP Binds its Delegates to President Trump from the Nevada Republican Party. "The Nevada Republican Party voted to bind its delegates for the Republican National Convention this summer to Donald J. Trump and endorsed his campaign today. The vote was by acclamation."


2020 Election from the Nevada Secretary of State.


   

Only registered Republicans in Nevada are eligible to participate in the caucuses [Section 1.3].

Circa February 2020 (date not set): Nevada Precinct Caucuses. Each Precinct Caucus chooses the precinct's delegates to the County Conventions. Caucuses will take place between 5p and 9p PST. The delegates to the County Conventions are not bound by the Presidential vote.

1 February 2020: Washoe County.

 

Saturday 15 February - Saturday 28 March 2020 (presumably): Republican Party County Conventions convene in each county. Each County Convention chooses delegates to the Nevada State Republican Convention.

 

Saturday 22 February 2020: Nevada Alternative Presidential Preference Poll. Hours begin at 12:40p PST (2040 UTC). The results of the Presidential Preference Poll are announced at 3p PST. Delegate Selection: Proportional Caucus/Convention. Voter Eligibility: Closed Caucus/Convention. The Nevada Republican Party Winter Meeting runs from Friday 21 February to Sunday 23 February 2020.

Circa 7 October 2019, the Republican Party has opted to not hold a caucus in Nevada. "If the NRCC Executive Committee determines that a statewide presidential poll is unnecessary to determine the will of the majority of registered Nevada Republican voters it may, at its sole discretion, call for a poll among the members of the NRCC to determine proportional allocation and binding of delegates and alternates ... The Alternative Presidential Preference Poll may only be used when there is an incumbent Republican President ...." [Chapter 2, Section 13 - Standing Rules of the Nevada Republican Central Committee]. The meeting is held in Pahrump, Nevada.

  • All 25 National Convention delegates are proportionally bound to Presidential contenders based on today's Alternative Presidential Preference Poll vote.
  • A 3.33% threshold is required in order for a contender to be allocated delegates [1 ÷ 30 delegates = 3.33%].
  • Chapter 3, 1.0 says "National Delegates ... shall be allocated proportionally based on the ... results ... rounded to the nearest whole number" while Subsection 8.1 says "When rounding off numbers in the calculation of the allocation of Delegates, the calculation will be based on the largest remainder method". Standing Rules 1.0 and 8.1 appear to be contradictory.
    Interpretation A (round to the nearest whole number):
    For those candidates receiving 3.33% or more of the vote: The number of delegates = 25 × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total statewide vote for those candidates exceeding the threshold) rounded to the nearest whole number. Not sure what to do if rounding allocates too few or too many delegates.
    Interpretation B (largest remainder method):
    For those candidates receiving 3.33% or more of the vote: The number of delegates = 25 × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total statewide vote for those candidates exceeding the threshold). Award each candidate the whole number of delegates. Beginning with the candidate with the largest remainder, round up to the next whole number. Repeat for the next highest remainder until all delegates are allocated.
