Procedure

Arizona is one of three states which held primaries on March 17, 2020, the others being Florida and Illinois.[2]

Arizona mails ballots to voters on the Permanent Early Voting List. Ballots must have been received by 7:00 p.m. on March 17, 2020. In addition, some Arizona counties offered Early Voting Sites[3] or Early Voting Centers,[4] where any voter may walk in and vote in person, Monday - Friday, February 19 through March 13, 2020.

Voting took place throughout the state from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. In the closed primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 67 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of the 67 pledged delegates, between three and six are allocated to each of the state's nine congressional districts and another nine are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 14 at-large pledged delegates. These delegate totals do not account for pledged delegate bonuses or penalties from timing or clustering.[5]

Following the primary, district caucuses will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2020, to designate national convention district delegates, and the state convention and state committee meeting will subsequently be held in Phoenix on Saturday, May 16, 2020 to vote on the 14 pledged at-large and nine PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 67 pledged delegates Arizona sends to the national convention will be joined by 11 unpledged PLEO delegates (five members of the Democratic National Committee and six members of Congress, including one Senator and five U.S. Representatives).[5]
