Six states held presidential primary elections or caucuses for the Democratic and Republican parties on June 7, 2016: California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

For the Democrats, the June 7 primaries and the North Dakota caucuses marked the second-to-last electoral events of the Democrats' presidential nominating season in 2016. Washington, D.C., held a primary election on June 14, 2016. On June 7, 694 pledged delegates were up for grabs—the second largest delegate haul of 2016 for the Democrats. A total of 475 of those 694 delegates came from California alone. The Democratic nominee needed 2,383 delegates to secure the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in July. On June 6, 2016, The Associated Press stated that Hillary Clinton had reached 2,383 delegates, including pledged delegates and superdelegates. "Hillary Clinton has commitments from the number of delegates needed to become the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for president, and will be first woman to top the ticket of a major U.S. political party," wrote The Associated Press.[1] Clinton's main challenger, Bernie Sanders, had a total of 1,561 delegates, as of June 6, 2016.

For the Republicans, the June 7 primaries were the last events of their 2016 presidential nominating season. A total of 303 pledged delegates were at stake—the third most delegates of 2016 for the Republicans. More than a third—or 118—of the pledged delegates on June 7 came from California. The Republican nominee needed 1,237 delegates to secure the nomination at the Republican National Convention in July. As of May 27, 2016, Donald Trump, the only remaining Republican candidate in the race, had 1,229 delegates by CNN's estimate and 1,238 delegates by Bloomberg Politics' estimate.

Democratic Party

Democratic Party Logo.png

California had 551 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 476 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[2][3]

Seventy-five party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[2][4]

Republican Party

Logo-GOP.png

California had 172 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 159 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's 53 congressional districts). California's district delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner in a given congressional district won all of that district's delegates.[5][6]

Of the remaining 13 delegates, 10 served at large. California's at-large delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the statewide primary vote received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[5][6]

Democratic Party

Democratic Party Logo.png

New Mexico had 43 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 34 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[2][13]

Nine party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[2][14]

Republican Party

In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[5][6]
