2020 U.S. Virgin Islands presidential caucuses


Although the United States Virgin Islands will not participate in the 2020 presidential election because it is a territory and not a state, it will still participate in the U.S. presidential caucuses and primaries.

Democratic caucuses

The USVI's Democratic presidential caucuses were held on June 6, 2020, in the Democratic Party presidential primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The United States Virgin Islands caucuses are a closed caucus, with the territory awarding 13 delegates, of which 7 are pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the caucuses.

Procedure

When the United States Virgin Islands Democratic Party published its draft delegate selection plan on June 12, 2019, it specified a June 6 date for the 2020 caucuses; this date is yet to be finalized.
Voting is expected to take place between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. In the closed caucuses, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent across the territory to be considered viable. The 7 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the caucuses. Of the 7 pledged delegates, all 7 are at-large pledged delegates.
The 7 pledged delegates the United States Virgin Islands send to the national convention will be joined by 6 unpledged PLEO delegates.

Results

On June 6, Joe Biden won the caucuses in Virgin Islands, extending his lead in the delegate threshold.
