Due to COVID-19, the Saturday 20 June 2020 State Convention in Columbia will be replaced with a virtual Convention from 13-19 June. "This is an unprecedented time in our state’s history and as such, we’re taking unprecedented measures to ensure the health and safety of Missourians. Leadership requires innovative and proactive planning, and our team is proving that despite COVID-19, Democrats are ready to organize however we can. While some restrictions on large events may have been lifted, we believe holding an in-person event that would see thousands of Democrats from across Missouri would be reckless and irresponsible. Missourians have lost much already, and we’re doing what we can to ensure that nobody has to choose between their health and participating in our democratic systems."

Saturday 20 June 2020 (presumably): State Convention in Columbia.

National Convention At-Large Delegates are elected according to the results of the Primary.

These 11 delegates and will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".
