Results

With 447 voting members of the DNC, 224 votes were expected to be needed to win the chairmanship.{{cite web|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/dnc-race-how-democratic-party-picks-its-new-leader-n724066|title=DNC Race: How Democrats will pick their new chair|website=NBC News|date=February 23, 2017 |access-date=February 25, 2017}} However, only 427 members voted in the first round (Chairperson Donna Brazile and two other members present did not vote, and one abstained), so only 214.5 votes were required to reach the threshold for victory. In the first round, Perez received 213.5 votes, while Ellison received 200, Boynton Brown received 12, Buttigieg received one, and Greene received 0.5.{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2017/02/25/517203708/live-blog-dnc-chair-race-to-begin-shortly-heres-what-to-expect|title=Perez Elected As Chairman Of Democratic National Committee|work=NPR|date=February 25, 2017|access-date=March 6, 2017|last1=Montanaro|first1=Domenico|last2=Detrow|first2=Scott}}{{refn|While DNC members received a full vote, Democrats Abroad had half of a vote.|group=lower-alpha}}

After the first round, Greene dropped out and endorsed Perez, while Peckarsky and Ronan dropped out and endorsed Ellison. Boynton Brown withdrew without endorsing a candidate.
