Disclaimer:
These pages contain a combination of official, unofficial, and estimated data. The information posted here is subject to change and will be updated as official information becomes available.

The delegate selection processes herein, along with any and all dates and delegate counts associated therewith, are unofficial and based on either (1) information obtained from either Major Party, (2) Presidential Primary dates established by currently-effective State statute, or- where the foregoing information could not be obtained- (3) the state's 2020 delegate selection process and associated dates adjusted to the corresponding dates in 2024.

Democrats

  • The Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee's 2 December 2022 recommendations for the "pre-window" dates have been used. Iowa is arbitrarily assigned a date of March 2024 for the time being.
  • Delegate counts reflect the DNC's 2024 Delegate Allocation document of 8 August 2022.
  • Democratic pledged delegate counts are determined by the jurisdiction's Presidential vote in 2012, 2016, and 2020; along with the jurisdiction's number of electors in 2024.
  • Democratic unpledged delegate counts are determined by the number of DNC Members, Democratic Governors, Democratic U.S. House members, and Democratic U.S. Senators serving at the time of the convention. The count for DNC Members, Distinguished Party Leaders is from the 2020 Convention. The tallies of Governors, Democratic U.S. House members, and Democratic U.S. Senators are the current officeholders.
  • Democratic Bonus Delegates and penalties are preliminary.

Republicans

  • Republican delegate counts are based on the number of Republicans elected to the State Legislatures, Governors chairs, U.S. House seats, and U.S. Senators seats through 31 December 2023. Republican unpledged delegate counts are determined by state (or equivalent) party rules. We have assumed that the policies of 2020 will apply in 2024.
  • The Republican district delegate count is based on the number of U.S. House members each state will elect in 2024.
  • Republican penalties for violating the timing window are not included in these delegate tallies.

Early Voting is held TBD February. The tallies are added to the 24 February caucus results. If an early voting or participant's first choice does not meet the viability threshold at the 24 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 24 February.

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 50 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.

  • 23 district delegates are to be allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the results in each of the State's 4 congressional districts.
  • 13 delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the support among the delegates to the State Convention as a whole.
    • 8 at-large National Convention delegates
    • 5 Pledged PLEOs

In addition, each Precinct Caucus chooses delegates to the County Conventions based on presidential preference.

 

Saturday 20 April 2024 (presumably): County Conventions convene in each county. Hours reportedly begin at 10:00a PDT (1700 UTC). Each County Convention chooses delegates to the Nevada State Democratic Convention.

 

Saturday 25 May 2024 (presumably): The Nevada State Democratic Convention convenes. The National Convention delegates are elected according to the results of the precinct caucuses.

The remaining 14 National Convention delegates consist of

  • 14 Unpledged PLEO delegates:
    • 8 Democratic National Committee members.
    • 5 Members of Congress (2 Senators and 3 Representatives).
    • 0 Governors.
    • 1 Distinguished Party Leader (former Senate Majority Leader Harry Mason Reid).

These 14 delegates and will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".
