The delegate count for the 2016 Democratic Primary is listed below and broken down by each state. For a Democratic candidate to clinch the nomination, they need to earn 2,383 out of 4,765 available delegates. If no candidate clinches this majority, then a brokered convention will take place to find a consensus candidate as the nominee. The Democratic Party also utilizes “superdelegates,” which are made up of party leaders who are free to support the candidate of their choosing.
Note: Delegate counts are updated regularly and usually within 24 hours after voting ends in a primary or caucus.
