When is the next primary? What to know about the Nevada caucuses

They are:1) The pre-realignment vote total: This is the initial tally of how many people prefer each candidate at each of the many precinct caucus sites, and the first-preference choices among all early votes. So this is who got the most votes after a reshuffling.3) County delegates: Finally, the final vote total in each precinct is then used to assign each viable candidate a certain number of county delegates. In 2008 and 2016, this was the only result the Nevada Democratic caucuses reported — so, for instance, when Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders 52 percent to 47 percent, those percentages were of county delegates (not actual votes).But this year, as in Iowa, the pre-realignment and final vote totals will be reported as well. Our sample early voter would then be realigned away from their top three nonviable choices (Steyer, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg) to their fourth choice, Biden.Finally, and for a bit of fun: As in Iowa, each Nevada precinct caucus culminates in the awarding of county convention delegates to each candidate.
