http://www.lvrj.com/news/13917072.htmlThe Democrats also have special precincts for voters who work on or near the Strip. These precincts became the subject of controversy this week when a lawsuit sought to wipe them out, contending they were unfair. But a judge gave the precincts the OK on Thursday.
The at-large precincts are located in the convention areas of the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Flamingo Las Vegas, Luxor, The Mirage, Paris Las Vegas, New York-New York, Rio and Wynn Las Vegas.
You must show a work ID for a business within 21/2 miles of the Strip -- it doesn't have to be one of the hotels where the caucuses are -- and you have to sign a form swearing that you are scheduled to work within an hour of the caucus, which is expected to last more than an hour.
Doors close at 11:30 a.m. Anyone who arrives after that will be turned away.
The Republicans do not have special precincts for workers. They meet at more than 100 locations. The Republicans require voter registration 30 days in advance. If you have been a registered Republican since Dec. 19, look up your caucus location at www.nvgopcaucus.com or by calling 702-258-9182.
Doors close at 9:10 a.m.
The Democratic and Republican caucuses are modeled after Iowa's traditional precinct caucuses, which were held on Jan. 3. The parties follow different models.
Democrats assemble into groups, one for each candidate. You can caucus for any candidate; there is no ballot. Once the groups are assembled, some of them will be too small to get a delegate, so they will split up and join other groups or go home. After the groups re-assemble, each group gets a portion of the total delegates allocated to that precinct.
