Presidential Preference Primary and Caucus Information

We received the following information from the City Clerk's office and are sharing it with our readers:

In 2021 the Nevada State Legislature passed bipartisan legislation (Assembly Bill 126) mandating that a Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) be held for all major political parties on the first Tuesday of February of each presidential election year, if more than one qualified candidate files a declaration of candidacy (NRS 298.600-720).

Starting in 2024, Nevada will have a Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) on Tuesday, February 6, 2024. Only voters who are registered Democrat or Republican may vote in this election.

Major parties are responsible for how they select their nominee for president. The Republican Party will be holding a caucus on Thursday, February 8, 2024. The Democratic Party is not holding a caucus. For more information on how the PPP or caucus impact the presidential candidate delegate selection, please contact the Democratic or Republican Parties directly. The phone numbers for the Republican Party are (702) 820-4700 and (702) 586-2000. Their website is www.nevadagop.org. The phone number for the Nevada Democratic Party is (702) 737-8683. Their website is www.nvdems.com.

The Clark County Election Department will conduct the PPP. Like all elections in Nevada, it will be an all-mail ballot election. In-person voting options will still be available during Early Voting and on Election Day. For more information, visit the Clark County Election Department webpage by clicking HERE.

Mark your calendars and make sure you vote if you are eligible.
