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

Official and final results from a party source. Last updated 26 February 2004.

Results from a media source: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/state/utah/ut-primary-results.htm"

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.

The Republican-controlled Utah Legislature voted to withhold funding for the 2004 presidential primary - a move that is expected to save about $600,000. Utah's bill would allow the primary to return in future years, but only if there is enough money to pay for it.

Polling for the party-run primary will take place at local libraries.
