EDITOR's NOTE: Hawaii Dems' 29% ‘uncommitted’ is a far larger percentage than the 13.2% ‘uncommitted’ that made headlines in Michigan on Tuesday Feb. 26. The ‘uncommitted’ Democratic Primary vote has been touted by Muslim activists as a protest against US support for Israel. In Hawaii, the higher percentage is probably related to the low overall turnout.
UPDATE March 24, 2024: Democrats Announce Delegate Allocation --
- Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Biden): 15 Delegates and 1 Alternate Delegate

SA: Joe Biden easily wins Hawaii Democratic presidential caucuses -- A total of 1,563 votes were cast statewide, with Biden receiving 1,032, or 66%, while uncommitted took 455 votes, or 29%. Other candidates receiving votes were self-help author and spiritual guru Marianne Williamson with 50, or 3%, and U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips with 15, or 1%, according to the party. Two other candidates had single-digit vote tallies. Party officials released the results after 10 p.m. but did not release the delegate allocation because they were still waiting for results from Lanai Democrats.
