Nevada Democrats will head to caucuses this morning to weigh in on a neck-and-neck race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.



Caucus sites are opening at 11 a.m. today, and attendees can get in as long as they're in line by noon. Participants can register to vote on-site.

In limited polling conducted earlier this week, the race appears to be a dead heat.

Clinton and Sanders have been criss-crossing the state for a week urging voters to support them at caucuses. Sanders held rallies throughout the state and Clinton dropped in at casino employee cafeterias.

Both joined a union picket on Thursday and have blanketed the airwaves with commercials.

Nevada is the third state to weigh in on the Democratic presidential contest. Clinton narrowly won in Iowa and Sanders won in New Hampshire.

Winning Nevada would show that a candidate can win support in a more-diverse electorate. Iowa and New Hampshire are predominately white states while Nevada has a 25 percent Latino population.
