[edit] Process
The Nebraska caucus was open to all Democratic voters. Voters who were eligible to vote in the general election but were unregistered or registered with another party could register as Democrats at the caucus. Absentee votes for the disabled, those on active military duty, and full time students were permitted.
After signing in, participants gathered into preference groups for each candidate. A minimum 15% of participants was required for viability. Only members of non-viable groups were permitted to realign to other viable groups. Afterwards, delegates were divided and elected to the county conventions in June, and the county conventions will elect delegates to the state convention taking place June 20–22, who will then elect delegates to the national convention.[3][4]
