The Primary Season: 2008 Democratic Calendar

To become the Democratic nominee for president, a candidate needs to capture a majority of the 4,040 delegate votes. State primaries and caucuses select 3,248 “pledged” delegates, who are obligated to vote for the candidate their state chose. An additional 792 “unpledged” delegates — consisting mostly of party leaders and elected officials — are free to vote for any candidate. States are listed according to the first major event in its selection process; with several states still jockeying for early positions, some dates may change.
