NEW HAMPSHIRE Democrat Presidential Primary

22 of the State's 27 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be allocated among the contenders for that Party's presidential nomination as a result of the voting in this Primary.

The vote totals above were obtained from official sources on 28 January 2004.

The write-ins and others include: Bush (Republican): 257, Scatter: 92, Talbow (Democrat): 8, Ashby (Republican): 2, Buchanan (Republican): 2


Here's how we compute the delegate count (estimate made from unoffical sources with 100% of the precints reporting):

  1. A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard votes cast for those candidates who do not qualify. Kerry and Dean have qualified for delegates.
  2. Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the state-wide qualified vote.
  3. In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide):
    1. Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
    2. Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
    3. Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
    4. If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.
