As in most Republican caucuses, there were two components. First, precinct delegates were elected from the attendees. These delegates represented the caucusgoers at the county conventions in March, and generally announced who they support for president, and why they should go to the county convention. Election of delegates was by show of hands. Then, a supporter of each campaign spoke on behalf of their candidate. Finally, a straw poll, called a presidential preference poll, was taken of the individuals in the room. This preference poll was a secret ballot with candidate names printed on them.http://www.nvgopcaucus.com/official-caucus-agenda-2008 Official Caucus Agenda 2008 The Nevada GOP Caucus https://web.archive.org/web/20080117002155/http://www.nvgopcaucus.com/official-caucus-agenda-2008 2008-01-17January 19, 2008 Nevada Republican Caucus 2008 2010-07-12 Incline Village, Nevada http://www.tahoebonanza.com/article/20080119/MULTIMEDIA/825418587 North Lake Tahoe Bonanza dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110716185140/http://www.tahoebonanza.com/article/20080119/MULTIMEDIA/825418587 July 16, 2011 Although the news media reported the results of the straw poll and proportionally assigned delegates to the Republican National Convention based on it, no delegates were selected at the caucus.
