The 2020 Kentucky Democratic presidential primary took place on June 23, 2020, alongside the New York primary, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. It was originally planned for May 19, 2020, but was moved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Kentucky primary was a closed primary, with the state awarding 60 delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of whom 54 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results.

Presumptive nominee and former vice president Joe Biden handily won the primary with almost 68% of the vote but not all of the 54 delegates.[1] While senator Bernie Sanders, despite receiving 12% of the vote, failed to win any delegates, the option for uncommitted delegates caught up almost 11%, which were enough votes to allocate 2 uncommitted delegates from the district-level.
