The results are in! In an unprecedented turnout, up 50% from 2008, 34,570 voters cast their ballots from over 170 countries all around the world, through in person voting, by fax, email, and post, and the results are as follows:
Bernie Sanders received 69% of the vote in the Democrats Abroad’s Global Presidential Primary, Hillary Clinton 31%.
Sanders picks up 9 pledged delegates as a result of the primary, while Clinton secures an additional 4 delegates. A full breakdown of the total ballots cast for each candidate, and number of delegates received, is detailed below.
DA volunteers worked around the clock and around the world over the past two weeks to verify and count every ballot cast.

Delegates are allocated to regions based on the number of voters in that region compared to the total number of voters. All regions are guaranteed at least one delegate, to be assigned to the presidential candidate with the highest number of global votes.
In regions allocated two delegates, the second delegate shall be allocated to the second-place candidate with more than 15% of the vote. In this case, Asia-Pacific and Americas each receive one delegate allocated to Secretary Clinton and one delegate allocated to Senator Sanders.
The Europe, Middle East & Africa region is allocated five delegates in total, to be allocated proportionally to the presidential candidates with more than 15% of the global vote. Thus the EMEA region will elect 2 delegates pledged to Secretary Clinton and 3 delegates pledged to Senator Sanders.
The remaining four delegates are allocated to achieve the the proportion of the overall global vote each candidate received: 4 delegates for Sanders, 0 delegates for Clinton.
Voters cast votes from more than 170 countries. This is the breakdown by Country Committee (countries without official Country Committees are grouped with non-Country Committees in the same region.)
