California Elections Voting Results | 2023 Election Live Results

The California primary is one of fourteen Presidential primary contest held on what has come to be known as Super Tuesday. It traditionally takes place a few days after the South Carolina primary and marks the first time voters from multiple states cast ballots on the same day. California will send 415 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention which will be proportionally allocated among the candidates based off the percentage of votes they received. The state has the largest number of delegates awarded in the country.

Polls are open between 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM PST on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. California has a semi-closed primary, meaning the primary is for one political party, but voters who did not state a party preference on their voter registration form are eligible to participate. California is one of 39 states that allows early voting and voters may cast an absentee ballot if they are able to provide a valid reason why they are unable to vote on the day of the primary.

A candidate must receive 15% or more of the vote in order to be considered a viable candidate and be awarded delegates.
