From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2008 Wyoming Democratic caucuses are a series of events designed to determine the delegates that the Wyoming Democratic Party will send to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The party allocated 7 pledged delegates to presidential candidates on March 8 during the Wyoming Democratic County Caucuses. The remaining 5 pledged delegates will be allocated on May 24 during the Wyoming Democratic State Convention. There are 6 Wyoming superdelegates, so the whole delegation is composed of 18 delegates.
[edit] Process
The Wyoming caucus were open to all eligible voters who were registered as Democrats by February 22, 2008. A 15% threshold was required in order to receive delegates at any caucus site.[1] Rather than the traditional caucus format, most sites used secret ballots which were then counted and delegates apportioned, without re-caucusing of nonviable groups.
