The 2024 New York Democratic presidential primary was held on April 2, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election, alongside contests in three other states. 268 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated, with 39 additional unpledged delegates.
President Joe Biden won every county with little official opposition, but the amount of blank ballots, fueled by protest votes due to the Gaza war, reached more than 11% of the vote statewide, and more than 14% of the vote in New York City.
Candidates Incumbent President Joe Biden announced his bid for a second term on April 25, 2023. He faced a primary challenge from author, progressive activist, and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, and former Congressman Dean Phillips. All three candidates filed to appear on the ballot by the January 19, 2024, filing deadline.
New York also officially tallied and reported the number of voters who left their ballots blank. New York did not give voters the option of voting "uncommitted" the way that some other states do, but voters were able to register protest votes by submitting a blank ballot.https://www.ettingermentum.news/p/the-uncommitted-voters-guide
