Procedure

North Carolina is one of 14 states holding primaries on March 3, 2020, also known as "Super Tuesday",[3] with governor Roy Cooper having signed a bill on June 22, 2018 pushing the date of the primary back until the first Tuesday in March and calling for simultaneous state, local, and presidential primaries.[4]

Voting is expected to take place throughout the state from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. In the semi-closed primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 110 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of the 110 pledged delegates, between 4 and 9 are allocated to each of the state's 13 congressional districts and another 14 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 24 at-large pledged delegates. Bonus delegates will be allocated as North Carolina shares a primary date with numerous other states on Super Tuesday; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates.[5]

After county conventions on Saturday, March 28, 2020 to select delegates to the congressional district and state conventions and congressional district conventions on Saturday, April 25, 2020 to select national convention district level delegates, the state convention will subsequently be held on Saturday, June 6, 2020 to vote on the 24 pledged at-large and 14 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 110 pledged delegates North Carolina sends to the national convention will be joined by 12 unpledged PLEO delegates (8 members of the Democratic National Committee; 3 members of Congress, of which all are U.S. Representatives; and the governor).[5]
