| Caucuses are simultaneous meetings held across the state at which voters decide which candidate they will back.
Polls suggest a three-way battle between Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards for the Democrats.
Surveys suggest the Republican battle is likely to be won by either Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney.

On Thursday evening, Iowans will gather at more than 1,780 locations across the state to choose delegates, the start of a selection process that will culminate in the Democratic and Republican national nominating conventions next summer.
Given the tightness of the races, rivals have been chasing the last wavering voters in a bid to take Iowa, and so give their campaigns crucial momentum.
Final call
The campaigns made offers of lifts, babysitters and snow shovels in an effort to lure people out to vote on Thursday.
Senator Hillary Clinton made her final argument to Iowa voters with a primetime television advertisement in which she said America was at a crossroads and she alone had the experience to take charge from the start.
"I'll work my heart out to bring the country we love the new beginning it needs and I will be ready to start on day one," Mrs Clinton said.
