Democrats in the nation’s capital will get their chance to weigh in on the race for the White House as the presidential primary calendar enters its final days
Democrats in the nation’s capital will get their chance to weigh in on the race for the White House on Tuesday as the presidential primary calendar enters its final days. Voters in Washington, D.C., will cast ballots in the Democratic presidential primary as well as for Congress and city offices.
The Associated Press will report vote totals and declare winners in the Democratic presidential primary, as well as in contested primaries for U.S. delegate to Congress, city council, shadow senator and shadow representative. Candidates on the presidential primary ballot are Biden, Marianne Williamson, Armando Perez-Serrato as well as a spot for write-in candidates. WHO GETS TO VOTEOnly voters registered with a party may participate in that party’s primary.
’s 20 pledged Democratic delegates are allocated according to the national party’s standard rules. Five at-large delegates are allocated in proportion to the citywide vote, as are two PLEO delegates, or “party leaders and elected officials.” The city has lumped its eight wards into two districts with a combined 13 delegates at stake, which are allocated in proportion to the vote results in each district.
Biden heads into the D.C. primary as the prohibitive favorite, as neither of his remaining challengers has made much of an impact on any primary or caucus to date. The first indications that he is winning citywide on a level consistent with the overwhelming margins seen in most other contests held this year may be sufficient to determine the citywide winner.
As of April 30, there were 450,750 registered voters in Washington. Of those, 77% were Democrats, 5% were Republicans and 16% were not registered with any party. In the 2022 primaries, turnout was 26% of registered voters in the Democratic primary and less than 1% in the Republican primary. About 76% of primary voters cast their ballots before primary day that year. As of Tuesday, a total of 31,421 ballots had cast ballots before primary day.
