NORTH DAKOTA Democratic Precinct CAUCUSESTuesday 5 February 2008Precinct Caucuses in each precinct choose the precinct's delegates to the Legislative District Convention of the legislative district in which the precinct is located. Such Legislative District Convention delegates from the precinct are allocated to presidential contenders in proportion to the percentage of the support each candidate received at the Precinct Caucus- a mandatory 15 percent threshold being required for such allocation. (NOTE: It is the State Convention- itself made up of delegates chosen by the aforementioned Legislative District Conventions- that actually pledges North Dakota's Democratic National Convention delegates to presidential contenders). Here is how we compute the delegate count (based on final precinct caucus results from a party source):
