State-by-State Delegate Report with Unpledged/Super Delegates Breakout
("DelSuper")
Description
During a presidential year, the Unpledged/Super Delegates report:
Breaks out unpledged/super
delegates (generally, party and elected officials).
Provides each candidate's
total delegate allocation (pledged and unpledged delegates) for each
state and territory.
Provides national totals
in a pseudo-state with the identifier "US."
This report breaks out unpledged delegates that are
known as "super delegates" — generally party and elected officials
who are not bound by the results of a primary or caucus to support a particular
candidate. Super delegates are awarded to a candidate only if they endorse
that person. The report provides national totals of each candidate’s pledged
and unpledged/super delegates, as well as the totals for each state, territory
and the District of Columbia, all of which will be sending voting delegations
to the party's national convention.
The numbers are based on party and state rules, delegate
interviews and analysis of election results by the AP. The report shows
the delegate total for each candidate within each delegation.
Note |
|
The report includes a
"state" of "UN", which is "Unassigned"
and is not a state or a territory. It is a category for super
delegates who have not yet been assigned to a state or territory.
When an "unassigned" super delegate endorses a candidate,
they will be moved from "Unassigned" to their state
or territory. |
