Tuesday 5 February 2008: 56 of 67 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Arizona Presidential Primary. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level.

• 37 district delegates are to be allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of Arizona's 8 Congressional Districts.
• CD 1: 5
• CD 2: 5
• CD 3: 5
• CD 4: 3
• CD 5: 5
• CD 6: 4
• CD 7: 4
• CD 8: 6
• In addition, 19 delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide.
  • 12 at-large National Convention delegates
  • 7 Pledged PLEOs

Here is how we compute the delegate count (based on certified returns from an official source):

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. Clinton and Obama 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.

Saturday 8 March 2008: District Caucuses meet. Each Caucus chooses the district delegates to the Democratic National Convention based on presidential preference.

• These caucuses choose the 37 district delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Such district National Convention delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders in proportion to the percentage of the support each candidate received in the Presidential Primary- a mandatory 15 percent threshold being required for such allocation.
