The 2020 Indiana Democratic presidential primary was to take place on May 5, 2020, but was postponed to June 2 due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is an open primary, with the state awarding 89 delegates, of whom 82 are pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results. Joe Biden won the primary with 76.5% of the vote.

Procedure

Indiana was to be the only state voting on May 5 in the Democratic primaries, but was rescheduled to vote with several other states on June 2 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Voting took place throughout the state from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. local time. Candidates must meet a threshold of 15% at the congressional district or statewide level to be considered viable. The 70 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the primary results. Of the 70 pledged delegates, between 4 and 7 are allocated to each of the state's 9 congressional districts and another 9 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials, in addition to 15 at-large pledged delegates. These delegate totals do not account for pledged delegate bonuses or penalties from timing or clustering.
The state convention will be held on June 13, to designate the district-level national convention delegates and vote on the 15 pledged at-large and 9 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 70 pledged delegates Indiana sends to the national convention will be joined by 7 unpledged PLEO delegates.
