Participation in Democrats Abroad’s delegate selection process is open to all U.S. nationals who will be 18 years of age or older on 4 November 2008, who reside temporarily or permanently outside the United States and who wish to participate as Democrats. Voters must declare that they have not participated and will not participate in the delegate selection process (caucus, primary or other method) of any other delegation to the 2008 Democratic National Convention or in the nominating process of any other political party for the corresponding presidential elections. DEMOCRATS ABROAD is allocated 11 delegate votes at the Democratic National Convention but will be sending 22 persons who will be acknowledged as "delegates" on the floor of the Convention. Each of the 22 delegates has ½ vote on the Convention Floor. Tuesday 5 February - Tuesday 12 February 2008: Primary and Local and/or Country Caucuses. There will be either Local or Country Caucuses of registered American voters who are legal residents of each country or each subdivision of such country in which there is such a caucus and who have signed a pledge to support the Democratic Party in the 4 November 2008 Presidential General Election (obviously, there are countries- or portions of countries- in which the holding of a Democrats Abroad local or country caucus by American citizens residing therein is impractical if not difficult and/or impossible, unwise if not dangerous and/or absolutely forbidden or illegal).
Here is how we compute the delegate count (based on final results of the Tuesday 5 February - Tuesday 12 February 2008 Local Caucuses / Party run Primary from an party source. Last update 21 February 2008): 21 February 2008: CORRECTION: DEMOCRATS ABROAD ISSUES CORRECTION TO DELEGATES AWARDED TO EACH CANDIDATE. Obama Wins Democrats Abroad Global Primary
