The 2024 Missouri Democratic presidential primary was held on March 23, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. Mail-in ballots are accepted until March 30. [2] 70 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated to presidential candidates. [3]

Contents

President Biden won the primary in a landslide. "Uncommitted" won three delegates and received 36% of the vote in the city of St. Louis. [4] A number of groups in the St. Louis area directly campaigned for Missouri Democrats to cast "uncommitted" ballots in protest of Biden's reaction to Israel's military invasion of Gaza. [5] Dean Phillips tied with Biden in Clark County. [6]

Administration

The Missouri Democratic Party organized the 2024 statewide primary as a closed, ranked-choice firehouse presidential primary. [7] The state-run presidential primary for all parties in Missouri had previously been abolished by the Missouri General Assembly in 2022, and a bill which would have reinstated it for 2024 was defeated in August 2023.
