“The Democrats Abroad 2024 Global Presidential Primary Results are in”
March 19, 2024 Amsterdam, Netherlands Democrats Abroad, the official international arm of the Democratic party, today announced the verified results of the Global Presidential Primary:
Joseph R. Biden wins 13 delegates
“Americans abroad have let their voices be heard, voting from 109 countries for their preferred presidential candidate,” said Martha McDevitt-Pugh, International Chair of Democrats Abroad. “A huge thanks to the volunteers and leaders around the world who organized in-person voting at 95 voting centers in 44 countries and made it possible for voters to cast their ballots remotely, no matter where they live.”
The results of the primary determine the number of delegates that each presidential candidate will receive from Democrats Abroad at the Democratic National Convention this August, helping determine the Democratic presidential nominee for the 2024 elections.
Democrats Abroad sends 21 delegates to the Convention, 13 of which are pledged delegates.
All Americans residing outside the United States may run for a convention delegate position, provided they are 18 or older by November 5, 2024, are Democrats Abroad members, and do not participate in any other US presidential primary this year. The submission form to become a delegate will be available at www.democratsabroad.org beginning March 26.
