The 2024 Ohio Democratic presidential primary took place on March 19, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election, alongside three other states. 127 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated in the semi-closed primary, with 17 additional unpledged delegates.[1] The contest was held alongside the primaries of Arizona, Illinois, and Kansas.
President Joe Biden won every county; but, despite having already dropped out, the only other candidate U.S. Representative Dean Phillips was still on the ballot on election day and won three delegates. He met the 15% threshold needed to receive a district delegate in the state's 2nd, 6th, and 14th districts, which the party and media were able to calculate roughly a month later in late April.[2]
The filing deadline for the Ohio primary was on December 20, 2023, and the office of the Secretary of State of Ohio published the list of certified candidates on January 9, 2024.[3]
