Idaho Republicans attending their county caucuses Tuesday cast secret ballots nominees in the GOP presidential contest. It's the first time most Idaho Republicans will have attended a caucus; in previous presidential elections, they used a primary to decide delegates. Because the race is still competitive and the event was held on Super Tuesday, it drew the attention of all four Republican candidates.

Caucuses are meetings for like-minded people, in this case Republicans. Idaho caucus attendees either had to be registered Republicans, or register that evening. Independents and Democrats have no say in choosing the GOP nominee.
Some counties have a single location, others have multiple sites. Attendees cast a secret ballot for a presidential nominee until one candidate gets a majority of votes from all present. If that doesn't happen in the first round of balloting, the last place finisher, and any other candidate who didn't get at least 15 percent are dropped off and another round of balloting held.
That process continues until one candidate gets a majority. The final results from the counties are sent to the state, and if one candidate has a majority of votes, he receives all of the state's presidential delegates. If no one receives a majority, the delegates are split on a proportional basis.
