Democratic Party of Hawai‘i will tabulate ballots and release the results of the Party-run Presidential Primary on Saturday, May 23, 2020 at noon Hawai‘i Time.

The Party earlier extended the deadline for mail ballots after COVID-19 forced the cancellation of walk in voting. The deadline for ballots to be received in the mail is today, Friday, May 22.

The party mailed out approximately 79,150 ballots to enrolled party members who are registered voters. As of early this week, 35,000 ballots had been returned.

The election results will determine the number of delegates committed to each candidate at the Democratic National Convention.

The Democratic Party of Hawai‘i’s Party-run Presidential Primary is separate from the State of Hawai‘i state-run primary and general elections, which will be held on August 8 and November 3.
