The process for nominating the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in 2024
The Washington State Democratic Party has decided to implement a proportional representation system for the allocation of delegates to the 2024 Democratic National Convention. This system will be based on the results of the binding presidential primary election, which is scheduled to take place on March 12, 2024. In addition to the delegates elected through this primary, there will also be superdelegates, who are members of the Party’s leadership, participating in the selection of the nominee at the convention.
If a Democratic Presidential candidate at the national convention fails to secure at least 1,895 pledged delegates in the initial round of voting, then superdelegates can cast their votes until a candidate reaches the threshold of 2,258 votes.
The Democratic National Convention in 2024 is set to take place in Chicago from August 19 to 22. Delegates from Washington and other states will come together to engage with party leaders, connect with fellow delegates, and officially select the Democratic Party’s candidates for President and Vice President of the United States.
Participation in the delegate selection process of WA Democrats is available for all registered voters who are eligible to vote by November 5, 2024 and who wish to participate as Democrats. The WA Democrats will have a total of 111 voting delegates and 8 alternates at the national convention, as well as 12 standing committee members and 4 convention pages.
