2024 Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary
March 5, 2024
116 delegates (92 pledged and 24 unpledged) to the Democratic National Convention

The 2024 Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary will take place on March 5, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 116 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates.[1] The contest will be held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states and territories.

Candidates

Incumbent President Joe Biden announced on April 25, 2023, his bid for a second term. He faces primary challenges from author, progressive activist, and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson,[2][3] and U.S. Representative from MN 3, Dean Phillips.[4]

Ballot access controversy

There are three ways for a Presidential candidate to get on the ballot in Massachusetts: a candidate can be placed on the ballot by the state party, they can gather 2,500 signatures to achieve ballot access, or the Secretary of the Commonwealth can place candidates who have been "generally advocated or recognized in the national news media."[5] The Massachusetts Democratic Party voted to submit only Biden's name to the state ballot, which was highly criticized by the Williamson campaign, which did not attempt to file any signatures.[6] Ultimately, both Phillips and Williamson were placed on the ballot by Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin.[7]
