- Note: The primary
result list certified by the Comisión Estatal de
Elecciones included ten district level delegates for
Bloomberg. However, the convention Committee on
Credentials ruled that eight of those were erroneously
included. Per the Democratic Party of Puerto
Rico's May 21 press release:
- "Each voter will
receive two ballots: a presidential preference ballot
and a district delegate selection ballot.
- The DNC has stated
that, under the rules governing the selection of
delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention,
any candidate who appears on the district level
delegate ballot that obtains 15 percent or more of the
votes will have the right to elect delegates.
- 'Regardless of whether any of the eight Democratic presidential candidates has withdrawn, if that candidate receives 15 percent or more of the votes on the district delegate selection ballot, the vote is valid, and they may elect delegates at the district level.'”
-
- The final delegation was Biden 44, Sanders 5, Bloomberg 2 and the seven automatic delegates. See: José A. Delgado. "Confirman los 58 delegados de Puerto Rico a la convención presidencial demócrata." El Nuevo Día, Aug. 10, 2020.
