The 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses will be a series of electoral contests organized by the Democratic Party to select at least 3,200 delegates to the Democratic National Convention (number is subject to change as possible bonus delegates and penalties are not yet included, and does not include an additional 565 un-elected superdelegates) and determine the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.[1] The elections will take place within all fifty U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. An extra 764 unpledged delegates or superdelegates, including party leaders and elected officials, (number is subject to change due to possible deaths, resignations, accessions or selection as a pledged candidate) will be appointed by the party leadership independently of the primary's electoral process. The convention will also approve the party's platform and vice-presidential nominee.
Following the 2016 presidential elections, significant changes were proposed that would change the number and role of superdelegates in the nomination process.[2] Changes were enacted on August 25, 2018, which would allow superdelegates to vote on the first ballot at a convention only if it were uncontested.[3]
Background
After Hillary Clinton's loss in the previous election, the Democratic Party was seen as not having a clear leader.[4] There remained divisions in the party following the 2016 primaries which pitted Clinton against Bernie Sanders.[5][6] Between the 2016 election and the 2018 midterm elections, Senate Democrats have generally shifted to the political left in relation to college tuition, healthcare, and immigration.[7][8]
Soon after the 2016 general election, the division between Clinton and Sanders supporters was highlighted in the 2017 Democratic National Committee chairmanship election between Tom Perez and Keith Ellison.[9] Perez was elected Chairman and appointed Ellison as the Deputy Chair, a largely ceremonial role.[7][8] Several candidates began releasing serious policy proposals early in 2019 resulting in the "invisible primary" being more visible than in previous elections.
Reforms since 2016
On August 25, 2018, DNC members passed reforms to the Democratic Party's primary process in order to increase participation[10] and ensure transparency.[11] The reforms mandate that superdelegates refrain from voting on the first presidential nominating ballot unless a candidate has enough votes from pledged delegates (based on the outcomes of primaries and caucuses) that superdelegates would not overturn the will of the people. This does not preclude superdelegates from endorsing a candidate of their choosing. Caucuses are required to have absentee voting or to otherwise allow those who cannot participate in person to join in. State parties are encouraged to use a government-run primary and increase primaries' accessibility, including through same-day or automatic registration and same-day party switching.[10]

First two debates
In order to qualify for the first two debates, debate entrants must either:
- Attain a minimum of 1% support in minimum three approved official polls for either the national level or the first four primary states (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina).[158] The polling threshold will be determined using polls published after January 1, 2019 up until two weeks before the scheduled debate, with each candidate only being able to count one poll by the same pollster within each region towards the requirement. For a poll to be considered it also needs to have been commissioned or conducted by this limited set of organizations: the Associated Press, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, The Des Moines Register, Fox News, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times, National Public Radio, Quinnipiac University, Reuters, the University of New Hampshire, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Winthrop University.[159]
- Meet a fundraising threshold, in which a candidate must receive donations from 65,000 unique donors, with at least 200 unique donors per state in at least 20 states.[158] Candidates who wish to qualify using the fundraising threshold must present evidence to the DNC of their eligibility using donor data collected by ActBlue or NGP VAN.[159]
Based on some applied method assumptions about how the above two criteria checks will be calculated in further details by DNC - while also only conducting a simplified check based on unverified data for the second criteria, a source claimed that 16 out of those 19 candidates it had been tracking data for, already had met minimum one of the two criteria as of April 25. There will however be no certainty about who and how many candidates have qualified, until DNC publish those names.[160]
Should more than 20 candidates meet the above qualification criteria for the first two debates, the debate entrants will be winnowed to 20 candidates by a set of tiebreaking rules "that gives primacy to candidates meeting both thresholds, followed by the highest polling average, followed by the most unique donors."[159] DNC have not yet decided the exact details of how these tiebreaking rules will be operated and calculated, but will communicate this at a later date.[161]
Each of the first two debates will take place during two consecutive nights, with a maximum of 10 candidates per night. For each of the two first debates, the DNC will draw lots among the candidates meeting either of the above thresholds to determine whether they will participate in the debate on the first or second night.[156][157]
Subsequent debates
According to DNC chairman Tom Perez, the qualification criteria for candidates to participate in the third debate and later debates are yet to be decided, but he expects them to evolve and become more strict to meet - resulting in fewer candidates qualifying for the subsequent debates. Qualification criteria for the third debate will be published by DNC "in ample time ahead of the third debate".[162][163]
