Participation in Hawai'i's delegate selection process is open to all voters who wish to participate as Democrats. The State of Hawaii does not conduct registration by party. Voting in the Democratic Party of Hawaii elections, including the Delegate Selection Process, requires membership in the Democratic Party of Hawaii and proof of voter registration.

Delegate Pledging: Proportional Primary. Voter Eligibility: Closed Primary. The ballot uses ranked choice with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice with a 15% viability threshold. If a candidate has officially ended their candidacy, the voter's next choice (recursively) is tallied. Write-ins are not permitted. Uncommitted is on the ballot. Beginning with the candidate who received the smallest number of votes, votes cast for candidates who fall below the 15% threshold are eliminated and the voter's next choice is tallied. The process continues until all candidates have at least 15% of the vote. If no candidate receives at least 15%, the threshold will be half the percentage of the votes received by the front-runner.
22 of 31 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the preferences expressed today's Hawaii Party-run Primary. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be pledged National Convention delegates at either the Congressional District Level or statewide level.
