Hawaii Primaries for Statewide offices and Congress

26 May 2004 Unpledged delegate preference update: Kerry: 3. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" column.

The results of the 24 February caucuses were obtained from the Democratic Party of Hawai'i. Here's how we computer the delegate count:

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.
Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the state-wide qualified vote.
In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide):

Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.
