The delegate selection processes herein was updated 29 April 2011 per the 2012 Delegate Selection Plan as of 25 June 2011.

In January 2012, the Democratic National Committee sent out a letter stating that Mr. Terry was not a "bona fide" Democrat. Hence, he may not qualify for delegates.


   

Tuesday 6 March 2012: 45 of 50 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Oklahoma Presidential Primary. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be pledged National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level.

  • 29 district delegates are to be pledged proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the State's 5 congressional districts. (numbers are from 5 June 2011)
    • CD 1: 6
    • CD 2: 6
    • CD 3: 5
    • CD 4: 6
    • CD 5: 6
  • In addition, 16 delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide.
    • 10 at-large National Convention delegates
    • 6 Pledged PLEOs

Here's how we compute the delegate count:

  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 meet the threshold.
  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.

Notes:

On 2 May 2011, Oklahoma Governor Governor Mary C. Fallin (Republican) signed HB 1614. The bill, by state Representative Gary W. Banz (Republican) and state Senator David Holt (Republican), was first read on 7 February 2011.

HB 1614 moves the Presidential Primary from the 1st Tuesday in February to the first Tuesday in March (6 March 2012). However, if one or more states sharing a boundary with Oklahoma sets a date for a regional primary, the State Election Board is authorized to change the date of the Oklahoma primary to the date of the regional primary, as long as the date is not before the first Tuesday in March. [OK Statutes 26-20-101]

Candidates for President of the United States must file with the State Election Board 5-7 December 2011.
