How are the delegates to the higher Assemblies selected?

They are selected by preference for candidates for the highest office being voted on that year that is contested. This is usually the Presidential race, the Governor’s race or a US Senate race. A vote is taken of the people present at the caucus. Whatever percentage of the vote each of the candidates gets for the race that is designated, is the percentage of the delegates that each candidates gets to represent the precinct at the County Assembly.

Example: If the candidates for President are Smith and Jones and a preference poll is taken at the Caucus which show 60% prefer Smith and 40% prefer Jones, then the number of delegates that precinct gets to send to the County Assemby is 60% Smith supporters and 40% Jones supporters. However, if a candidate fails to receive 15% of the vote, he/she does not get any delegates.

Separeate votes are taken to select delegates to the County Convention and to the County Assembly. The Convetion vote is based on the Presidential race. The Assembly vote is based on the highest contested state race.
