§ 6060 Presidential Primary Unselected Candidates

Key Takeaways

  • •This rule is about who can be on the presidential primary ballot if they're not already picked by the big parties.
  • •A group of at least 7 voters who are registered Democrats can ask for delegates who don’t support any specific candidate (called an 'uncommitted delegation').
  • •These extra candidates are called 'unselected candidates.'

Example

A small group of Democratic voters in California want to show they don’t support any of the main candidates in the presidential primary.

If at least 7 of them team up, they can ask for delegates who don’t pick a candidate. This lets them have a say in the primary even if they don’t like the usual choices.
