This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.

Participation is open to all voters who wish to participate as Democrats. Voter registration ends 30 days before the Primary and voters affiliate with the Democratic Party by either voting in the Democratic Primary or signing an affidavit of affiliation. There is no party registration in Texas.

Tuesday 5 March 2024: Texas Primary. Hours reportedly 7:00a-7:00p CST (1300-0100 UTC) / 7:00a-7:00p MST (1400-0200 UTC). Only the area around El Paso is in MST, so the vast majority of polls have closed in TX by 7 PM CST. Delegate Pledging: Proportional Primary. Voter Eligibility: Open Primary.

244 of 272 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Texas 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. Write-in candidates are not allowed. Uncommitted does not appear on the Texas Democratic Primary ballot. How the Democratic Proportional Delegate Allocation Math works.

  • 159 district delegates are to be pledged proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the State's 38 Congressional Districts (CD= "Congressional District").
  • 85 delegates are to be pledged to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide.
    • 53 at-large National Convention delegates
    • 32 Pledged PLEOs

The data for President Biden was omitted from the Texas certified vote for CDs 4, 8, 18, 20, 23, 26, and 28. We are contacting the Texas Secretary of State for an update. Until then, the vote is estimated.
