The Nevada Republican Party will hold an in-person caucus Feb. 8 at various precinct locations around the state.
In 2021, Nevada’s legislature passed a law that requires the state to hold presidential primaries, which inform the nomination process of the Democratic and Republican parties. The law was a response to reporting issues during the 2020 Democratic caucus that led to a recount.
Caucuses are run by political parties, while primary elections are run by state and local governments.
Under the Nevada law, there must be a Republican and Democratic primary. However, each party is not bound to the results and can choose other methods to assign the state’s delegates.
The Republican Party in Nevada has decided to stick with the caucus system. In May 2023, the party sued the state about the primary election law. Nevada’s GOP then passed a rule barring any candidate who signed up for the state’s primary from participating in its caucus and, therefore, receiving delegates.
There are two separate ballots for the Republican primary and caucus. The Nevada Republican primary has no impact on who receives the national nomination.
Registered Republicans in Nevada can legally vote in both the primary and caucus.
