The contest has importance as it is being held three days before Super Tuesday, when voters in 10 states will either pick or begin to pick their presidential nominees. All four of the GOP's current candidates have campaigned extensively in the state.

Republican Party caucuses meet in their precinct locations starting at 10 a.m. PST. Only registered voters can caucus. The process is expected to finish by noon.
