Winfield Township Democratic Candidates for Primary Election on March 17th, 2020

Presidential Delegates ​represent their candidates at the Democratic National Convention, held July 13-16, 2020, in Milwaukee. They are pledged delegates as they represent a specific candidate. You will see them on the ballot with the candidates name next to theirs in parentheses. The delegates with the highest number of votes go to the Convention to represent their candidate, subject to gender balancing. 
​The number of votes a presidential candidate receives determines the number of delegates they receive. For example, if  candidate A receives 60% of the votes, they receive 60% of the delegates allowed in a congressional district. And, if candidate B receives the remaining 40% of the votes they receive the remaining 40% of delegates. Candidates must meet a 15% threshold to receive delegates. 
Vote for no more than the number allowed. Six in the 6th and five in the 14th congressional districts. You may vote for delegates of different candidates or all the same. You may vote for less than the number allowed. This will not affect how many delegates your candidate gets. It only determines which delegates for each candidate goes to the convention.
