Iowa votes differently. Here's how caucus voting is different from the typical primary vote.

Unlike a traditional primary, in which voters cast ballots, caucuses all take place out in the open: People show up to their precinct and physically move into designated parts of a room to show their preference for a certain candidate. Delegates are awarded based on those who reaches a certain threshold of support by the end of the night.New rules and procedures will change how the caucuses are conducted and what is reported.

In a change from previous cycles, voters who select a viable candidate for their initial preference will not be allowed realign. In fact, they will be given a presidential preference card to write their choice down to create a paper trail in case a recount is requested.This rule change by the state party seeks to accelerate and streamline the process.
