Tuesday 5 June 2012: 22 of 27 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based upon the support for each contender receives at the Legislative District Caucuses. A mandatory 15 percent threshold at the statewide level is required in order for a presidential contender to be pledged National Convention delegates.
A fine point: The At-Large and Pledged PLEO delegates are pledged to presidential contenders based on the presidential preferences of the 15 district level delegates pledged at the Legislative District Caucuses. Hence, the National Convention District delegates are pledged from the preferences expressed at the Caucuses while the National Convention statewide delegates are pledged using the preferences of the National Convention District delegates.
