This page is an aggregate of candidates that are listed on our state-by-state pages. We include candidates appearing on primary ballots and caucus summaries.

* The "Vote" column is the total primary and caucus vote as recorded in each jurisdiction and includes Popular Vote, Percent Vote, Percent Delegates Selected, State Convention Delegates Selected, County Convention Delegates Elected, Regional Caucus Delegates Elected, State Convention Delegates Apportioned, Precinct Delegates Selected.

We usually post primary candidates 30-60 days before the primary, that is, when the election board certifies the ballot. However, caucus candidates are typically posted when the party publishes the results after said event.

Considering the above, this list is a work in progress and will contain partial information until the conclusion of the primary, caucus, and convention season.

The write-in category includes write-in candidates and candidates referred to as "others", "scattering", and "miscellaneous" by the elections authorities.

The (available) category is a count of delegates that have not been allocated to any candidate.
