Tuesday 1 May - Sunday 6 May 2012: Global Presidential Primary. 14 of the 19 delegate votes to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Democrats Abroad Presidential Primary. Participants may vote by fax, email, in person, or postal mail. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates. Each voter may cast a vote for 1 Presidential candidate (or uncommited) and up to 9 of that candidate's delegates for that region. Voting for one candidate and the delegates of another is not permitted. Write-ins are not permitted. 11 Regional delegates are to be pledged proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results. The number of delegates elected in each region is proportional to the total percentage votes cast in each region. However, no fewer than 1 and no more than 9 delegates are elected in each region.
The election of Regional At-Large National Convention Delegates will take place during the Democrats Abroad Global Primary. Delegates, along with the Presidential Preference, appear on the ballot. Number of Regional Delegates elected: Americas: 3, Asia-Pacific: 1, Europe-Middle-East-Africa: 7.
