With the highest proportion of Latino voters among the early voting states, Nevada is commonly seen as an early bellwether of how well candidates are performing with the group — a key Democratic constituency. Thirty-six pledged delegates are up for grabs.

Nevada Republicans canceled their caucus this year.

Democrats' reallocated preferences

Reallocated preference results are the raw vote totals from the second stage of the caucus after voters are able to shift their support to another candidate if their first-choice candidate does not receive enough support during the first, or initial preference, stage of the caucus. Only candidates who have met the viability threshold (15 percent in most caucus locations) receive votes in this stage.

Caucusgoers whose first-choice candidate do not meet the threshold have several options: They can move to a viable candidate; try to recruit supporters of other nonviable candidates to join their group in order to meet the threshold; move to another nonviable candidate and try to meet the threshold; or leave the caucus without indicating a second choice. Supporters of candidates who initially meet the threshold are not allowed to change their preference.
