Presidential primaries and caucuses were organized by the Democratic Party to select the 3,979 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention held on August 17–20 to determine the party's nominee for president in the 2020 United States presidential election. The elections took place in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and through Democrats Abroad, and occurred between February 3 and August 11.
A total of 29 major candidates declared their candidacies for the primaries. Former vice president Joe Biden led polls throughout 2019, with the exception of a brief period in October when Senator Elizabeth Warren experienced a surge in support.{{cite news|last=Bump|first=Philip|title=Warren just took the lead in a key polling average.

The first primary was marred by controversy, as technical issues with vote reporting resulted in a three-day delay in vote counting in the Iowa caucus, as well as subsequent recounts. The certified results of the caucus eventually showed Mayor Pete Buttigieg winning the most delegates, while Senator Bernie Sanders won the popular vote in the state. Sanders then won the New Hampshire primary in a narrow victory over Buttigieg before comfortably winning the Nevada caucus, solidifying his status as the front-runner for the nomination.{{cite web|url=https://www.vox.com/2020/2/22/21147131/bernie-sanders-nevada-caucuses-democratic-winner-2020|title=Bernie Sanders just won the Nevada caucuses|last=Nilsen|first=Ella|date=2020-02-22|website=Vox|access-date=2020-02-23|df=mdy-all}}{{cite news|last=Frostenson|first=Sarah|title=Bernie Sanders is the Frontrunner|url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bernie-sanders-is-the-front-runner/|publisher=FiveThirtyEight|date=February 23, 2020|access-date=October 22, 2020}} Sanders received significant support from Asian, Hispanic,{{cite web |title=Democratic Primary 2020: Analysis of Latino and Asian American Voting in 10 States |url=https://latino.ucla.edu/research/democratic-primary-2020-analysis-of-latino-and-asian-american-voting-in-10-states/ |publisher=UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute |website=latino.ucla.edu}} and young voters.{{cite web |title=4 years ago, Sanders and Biden united Democrats.

Biden, whose campaign fortunes had suffered from losses in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, made a comeback by overwhelmingly winning the South Carolina primary, motivated by strong support from African American voters, an endorsement from South Carolina U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn, as well as Democratic establishment concerns about nominating Sanders.{{cite news|last1=Korecki|first1=Natasha|last2=Siders|first2=David|title=Sanders sends Democratic establishment into panic mode|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/23/sanders-democratic-establishment-panic-mode-117065|publisher=Politico|date=February 23, 2020|access-date=October 22, 2020}} After Biden won South Carolina, and one day before the Super Tuesday primaries, several candidates dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden in what was viewed as a consolidation of the party's moderate wing.

Increasingly, as the primaries proceeded, they were overshadowed in public attention by the COVID-19 pandemic, which the World Health Organization declared to be a global pandemic on March 11, eight days after Super Tuesday.{{#invoke:cite web ||publisher=Word Health Organization |url=https://www.who.int/news/item/27-04-2020-who-timeline---covid-19 |title=Archived: WHO Timeline – COVID-19 |date=27 April 2020 |access-date=7 March 2024 |archive-date=29 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200429012212/https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/27-04-2020-who-timeline---covid-19 |url-status=live }} Between March 19 and April 7, most states in the country issued stay-at-home orders, and the overwhelming majority of campaign activity was suspended.

Biden became the first Democratic candidate since Bill Clinton, and the third ever Democratic candidate,{{efn|George McGovern was the first candidate back in 1972}} to win the nomination without carrying either Iowa or New Hampshire, the first two states on the primary/caucus calendar.
The primaries were initially scheduled to go through June 6. The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States caused a number of states to shift their primaries to later in the year.
Background
After Hillary Clinton's loss in the previous election, many felt the Democratic Party lacked a clear leading figure.{{cite news |url=https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/324903-for-democrats-no-clear-leader/ |title=For Democrats, no clear leader |last=Easley |first=Jonathan |date=March 31, 2017 |work=The Hill |access-date=January 28, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180129231222/http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/324903-for-democrats-no-clear-leader |archive-date=January 29, 2018 |url-status=live}} Divisions remained in the party following the 2016 primaries, which pitted Clinton against Bernie Sanders.{{cite magazine |url=https://newrepublic.com/minutes/142419/2020-democratic-primary-going-all-out-brawl-party-needs |title=The 2020 Democratic primary is going to be the all-out brawl the party needs. |last=Vyse |first=Graham |date=April 28, 2017 |magazine=The New Republic |access-date=January 28, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180129141132/https://newrepublic.com/minutes/142419/2020-democratic-primary-going-all-out-brawl-party-needs |archive-date=January 29, 2018 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/07/opinion/clinton-sanders-democratic-party.html |title=The Struggle Between Clinton and Sanders Is Not Over |last=Edsall |first=Thomas B. |date=September 7, 2017 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=March 25, 2018 |url-access=limited |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180326000959/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/07/opinion/clinton-sanders-democratic-party.html |archive-date=March 26, 2018 |url-status=live}} Between the 2016 election and the 2018 midterm elections, Senate Democrats generally shifted to the political left in relation to college tuition, healthcare, and immigration.{{cite news |url=https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/30/2020-liberal-democrats-trump-opponent-319239 |title=Dem senators fight to out-liberal one another ahead of 2020 |last=Schor |first=Elana |date=December 30, 2017 |work=Politico |access-date=January 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180203123518/https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/30/2020-liberal-democrats-trump-opponent-319239 |archive-date=February 3, 2018 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/06/29/kristen-gillibrand-bill-de-blasio-echo-progresive-calls-abolish-ice/746694002/ |title=New York's Kirsten Gillibrand, Bill de Blasio echo progressive calls to 'abolish ICE' |last1=Miller |first1=Ryan W. |date=June 29, 2018 |work=USA Today |access-date=July 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180702150050/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/06/29/kristen-gillibrand-bill-de-blasio-echo-progresive-calls-abolish-ice/746694002/ |archive-date=July 2, 2018 |url-status=live}} The 2018 elections saw the Democratic Party regain the House of Representatives for the first time in eight years, picking up seats in both urban and suburban districts.{{cite web |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/11/2018-election-results-democrats-regain-control-house/575122/ |title=The Democrats Are Back, and Ready to Take On Trump |last=Graham |first=David A. |date=November 7, 2018 |website=The Atlantic |language=en-US |access-date=September 20, 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-suburbs-all-kinds-of-suburbs-delivered-the-house-to-democrats/ |title=The Suburbs—All Kinds Of Suburbs—Delivered The House To Democrats |last=Skelley |first=Geoffrey |date=November 8, 2018 |website=FiveThirtyEight |language=en-US |access-date=September 20, 2019}}

Caucuses are required to have absentee voting, or to otherwise allow those who cannot participate in person to be included.
Independent of the results of the primaries and caucuses, the Democratic Party, from its group of party leaders and elected officials, also appointed 771{{efn|name=unpledged delegate number}} unpledged delegates (superdelegates) to participate in its national convention.
In contrast to all previous election cycles since superdelegates were introduced in 1984, superdelegates will no longer have the right to cast decisive votes on the convention's first ballot for the presidential nomination. They will be allowed to cast non-decisive votes if a candidate has clinched the nomination before the first ballot, or decisive votes on subsequent ballots in a contested convention.{{cite news|last=Detrow|first=Scott|date=June 27, 2018|title=DNC Officials Vote To Scale Back Role Of 'Superdelegates' In Presidential Nomination|website=NPR|url=https://www.npr.org/2018/06/27/623913044/dnc-officials-vote-to-scale-back-role-of-superdelegates-in-presidential-nominati|access-date=May 26, 2019}}{{cite web|last1=Putnam|first1=Josh|date=May 15, 2019|title=Magic Number?

There were a number of changes to the process of nomination at the state level. A decline in the number of caucuses occurred after 2016. Democrats in Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Washington all switched from various forms of caucuses to primaries. Hawaii, Kansas, and North Dakota switched to party-run "firehouse primaries".{{cite news |url=http://inthesetimes.com/article/21959/ranked-choice-voting-2020-democratic-primary-maine-kansas |title=Ranked Choice Voting Is On a Roll: 6 States Have Opted In for the 2020 Democratic Primary |last=Daley |first=David |date=July 9, 2019 |work=In These Times |access-date=August 22, 2019 |language=en-US |issn=0160-5992}}
This resulted in the lowest number of caucuses in the Democratic Party's recent history. Only three states (Iowa, Nevada, and Wyoming) and four territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, and U.S. Virgin Islands) used them. Six states were approved in 2019 by the DNC to use ranked-choice voting in the primaries: Alaska, Hawaii, Kansas, and Wyoming for all voters; Iowa and Nevada for absentee voters.{{cite news |url=http://inthesetimes.com/article/21959/ranked-choice-voting-2020-democratic-primary-maine-kansas |title=Ranked Choice Voting Is On a Roll: 6 States Have Opted In for the 2020 Democratic Primary |last=Daley |first=David |date=July 9, 2019 |work=In These Times |access-date=August 22, 2019 |language=en-US |issn=0160-5992}} Rather than eliminating candidates until a single winner is chosen, voters' choices were reallocated until all remaining candidates have at least 15%, the threshold to receive delegates to the convention.{{cite web |url=https://www.fairvote.org/how_ranked_choice_voting_will_affect_democratic_presidential_primary |title=How ranked choice voting will affect Democratic presidential primary |last1=Risch |first1=Emily |date=June 14, 2019 |website=FairVote |access-date=August 22, 2019}}
Several states which did not use paper ballots widely in 2016 and 2018, adopted them for the 2020 primary and general elections,{{Cite web |url=https://www.verifiedvoting.org/verifier/ |title=Verifier |website=Verified Voting |language=en-US |access-date=March 27, 2020}}

= Rules for number of delegates =
== Number of pledged delegates per state ==
The number of pledged delegates from each state is proportional to the state's share of the electoral college, and to the state's past Democratic votes for president.{{cite web |url=https://www.thegreenpapers.com/P20/D-Alloc.phtml#Alph |title=The Math Behind the Democratic Delegate Allocation – 2020 |website=The Green Papers |access-date=March 2, 2020}}{{cite web |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_delegate_rules,_2020 |title=Democratic delegate rules, 2020 |website=Ballotpedia |language=en |access-date=March 2, 2020}} Thus less weight is given to swing states and Republican states, while more weight is given to strongly Democratic states, in choosing a nominee.
Six pledged delegates are assigned to each territory, 44 to Puerto Rico, and 12 to Democrats Abroad. Each jurisdiction can also earn bonus delegates by holding primaries after March or in clusters of 3 or more neighboring states.
Within states, a quarter of pledged delegates are allocated to candidates based on statewide vote totals, and the rest typically based on votes in each congressional district, although some states use divisions other than congressional districts. For example, Texas uses state Senate districts.

For example, Texas uses state senatorial districts. However, the broad point is the same – there are separate statewide and 'local' proportional delegate allocations.}} Districts which have voted Democratic in the past get more delegates, and fewer delegates are allocated for swing districts and Republican districts. For example, House Speaker Pelosi's strongly Democratic district 12 has 7 delegates, or one per 109,000 people, and a swing district, CA-10, which became Democratic in 2018, has 4 delegates, or one per 190,000 people.{{cite news |url=https://www.mercurynews.com/california-presidential-primary-delegate-math |title=Pay attention, California: Delegate math could shape which Democrat takes on Trump |website=Mercury News |last1=Tolan |first1=Casey |date=February 29, 2020 |access-date=March 2, 2020 |language=en-US}}{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/mycd/?st=06&cd=10 |title=My Congressional District |website=www.census.gov |language=EN-US |access-date=March 2, 2020}}{{cite web |url=https://www.cadem.org/body/Delegate-and-Alternate-Allocation-per-CD.pdf |title=Each of California's 53 Congressional Districts (CDs) are allocated from 4 to 11 District- Level delegates |date=January 6, 2020 |website=California Democratic Party |access-date=March 1, 2020 |archive-date=March 2, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200302024732/https://www.cadem.org/body/Delegate-and-Alternate-Allocation-per-CD.pdf |url-status=dead }}
== Candidate threshold ==
Candidates who received under 15% of the votes in a state or district didn't get any delegates from that area. Candidates who got 15% or more of the votes divided delegates in proportion to their votes.{{cite news|author1-link=John M. Sides |last=Sides |first=John |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/02/16/everything-you-need-to-know-about-delegate-math-in-the-presidential-primary/ |title=Everything you need to know about delegate math in the presidential primary |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=February 17, 2020 |access-date=March 2, 2020 |language=en}} These rules apply at the state level to state delegates and within each district for those delegates. The 15% threshold was established in 1992 to limit "fringe" candidates. The threshold now means that any sector of the party (moderate, progressive, etc.) which produces many candidates, thus dividing supporters' votes, may win few delegates, even if it wins a majority of votes.{{Cite web |url=https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/02/04/democrats-must-act-now-to-avoid-an-undemocratic-2020-outcome/ |title=Democrats must act now to avoid an undemocratic 2020 outcome |last=Aaron |first=Henry J. |date=February 4, 2019 |website=Brookings |language=en-US |access-date=March 2, 2020}}{{Cite news |last=Nam |first=Rafael |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/483201-worries-grow-as-moderates-split-democratic-vote/ |title=Worries grow as moderates split Democratic vote |date=February 15, 2020|work=The Hill |access-date=March 2, 2020 |language=en}}{{Cite web |url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-the-15-percent-threshold-for-primary-delegates-could-winnow-the-field/ |title=How The 15 Percent Threshold For Primary Delegates Could Winnow The Field |last=Putnam |first=Josh |date=November 4, 2019 |website=FiveThirtyEight |language=en-US |access-date=March 2, 2020}}

Campaign finance
This is an overview of the money being raised and spent by each campaign for the entire period running from January 1, 2017, to March 31, 2020, as it was reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Total raised is the sum of all individual contributions (large and small), loans from the candidate, and transfers from other campaign committees. The last column, Cash On Hand (COH), has been calculated by subtracting the "spent" amount from the "raised" amount, thereby showing the remaining cash each campaign had available for its future spending {{As of|2020|02|29||df=US|lc=y |post=.}} As of February 29, 2020, the major candidates have raised $989,234,992.08.
