This weekend's primaries/caucuses

[Adelante]

Saturday, Feb. 9:

-- Louisiana primary: 56 delegates at stake. (37 proportional by CD, 15% threshold; 19 based on statewide vote, 15% threshold.) Independents cannot vote. Polls open at 7:00 am ET and close at 9:00 pm ET.

-- Nebraska caucuses: 24 delegates at stake. (16 delegates selected as a result of the caucuses proportionally by CD, of which there are 3, 15% threshold; other 8 are selected at the June 28 state convention based on preferences of state convention delegates, 15% threshold.) There is same-day registration at the caucuses, and they operate similar to how they do in Iowa. Caucusing begins as early as 11:00 am ET and they end as late as 9:30 pm ET.

-- Virgin Islands territorial convention: 3 delegates at stake. (Proportional by statewide vote, 15% threshold. There are actually 6 pledged delegates, who will be seated at the national convention, but their votes only count for half.)

-- Washington caucuses: 78 delegates at stake. (Multi-tiered caucus. 51 proportional by CD, no threshold; 27 elected at state convention by the 51 CD delegates and those 27 will be selected proportionally by the statewide vote.) Voters sign a party declaration same day as the caucuses. Caucusing begins at 4:00 pm ET, and we should have results no later than 9:00 pm ET.

Sunday, Feb. 10:

-- Maine caucuses, 24 delegates at stake. (16 proportional by CD of which there are 2, 15% threshold; 8 proportional by support at May 31 state convention.) There is same-day registration at the caucuses, and they begin as early as 1:00 pm ET, and results should start to come in around 6:00 pm ET.
