During Tuesday's North Dakota presidential caucuses, both Democratic and Republican candidates are fighting for a share of the state's delegates to their respective national conventions.

This is a summary of what's at stake:

DEMOCRATS

The votes of 13 of North Dakota's 21 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be apportioned according to Tuesday's results. To qualify for delegates, a candidate must get votes from at least 15 percent of caucus participants.

The Democratic caucus ballot lists five candidates: Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich. There is also a line for write-in votes.

Both Edwards and Kucinich wanted their names listed on North Dakota's ballot, even though they both recently dropped out of the race.
