The 2020 Utah Democratic presidential primary took place on March 3, 2020, as one of 15 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election, following the South Carolina primary the weekend before. The Utah primary was an open primary, with any registered voter able to participate. The primary awarded 34 delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 29 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
One of his four wins on Super Tuesday, senator Bernie Sanders placed first by a large margin with around 36% of the vote and won 16 delegates, while former vice president Joe Biden came in second with around 18% and 7 delegates.[1] Utah was the only state on Super Tuesday where Biden did not improve his result compared to pre-election polls through the endorsements of Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and others. Senator Elizabeth Warren and former mayor Michael Bloomberg both surpassed the 15% threshold and would have won 5 delegates each, but the Utah Democratic Party decided not to calculate statewide delegates for them because of their withdrawals in the following two days.[2]
