Candidate Primary and Caucus Ballot Access
2008 Presidential Primaries, Caucuses, and Conventions
Sorted by Candidate Name

TheGreenPapers.com will be tracking delegate counts as both "Soft" (here assuming that relevant delegations will remain sanctioned into the respective National Conventions [that is: with no delegates to be seated at the Democratic National Convention]) and as "Alternative" (here assuming that the full delegation of an affected jurisdiction- as originally allocated before being sanctioned- is eventually to be seated [that is, at some point before the Conventions, sanctions will be lifted]) from now until the Democratic National Convention convenes or until no delegation is any longer sanctioned, if this should occur prior to the Conventions.

On 5 October 2007, the DNC determined that the date of Florida's 29 January 2008 primary violates party rules and has decided to strip the state of its entire delegation.

This page is an aggregate of candidates that are listed on our state-by-state pages. We include candidates appearing on primary ballots and caucus summaries.

* The "Vote" column is the total primary and caucus vote as recorded in each jurisdiction and includes Popular Vote, Percent Vote, Popular Vote (Supporters), State Convention Delegates Selected, County Convention Delegates Elected, Caucus Popular Vote, County Delegates, Precinct Delegates Selected.

We usually post primary candidates 30-60 days before the primary, that is, when the election board certifies the ballot. However, caucus candidates are typically posted when the party publishes the results after said event.

Considering the above, this list is a work in progress and will contain partial information until the conclusion of the primary, caucus, and convention season.

The write-in category includes write-in candidates and candidates referred to as "others", "scattering", and "miscellaneous" by the elections authorities.

The (available) category is a count of delegates that have not been allocated to any candidate.
