Oregon Primaries for Statewide offices and Congress

26 May 2004 Unpledged delegate preference update: Kerry: 2. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" column.

The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the Oregon Elections Division for the 18 May Primary. This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.

Official results from the Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division: http://www.sos.state.or.us/elections/elechp.htm. The "(write-ins/others)" column was listed as "Misc." by the Elections Board.

The CD results of the primary are from the Democratic Party of Oregon.

Here's how we compute 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.
