2020 Wyoming Democratic presidential caucuses

The Wyoming Democratic Party published its final approved delegate selection plan on October 9, 2019, outlining that April 4 would be the first determining date for its party-run 2020 caucuses (along with the Alaska primary on the same day), which should be decided throughout the process by Ranked-Choice votes. Only registered Democrats (defined as all persons residing in the county and registered to vote as Democrats at least by March 20) were able to vote in the election, and they could have either chosen to vote: by mail (originally from January 30 to March 20), at the voter station of their county on March 28, or at the caucus event itself on April 4. Voters who wished to participate in the Caucus event on April 4 and cast their vote by a specifically marked "Caucus Day Ballot" would not have been eligible to do so if they prior to the event had voted by mail or at a voter station.[2] Instead, all voting had to occur by mail, and ballots received by April 17 were counted.[3]

County caucuses would have begun across the state at 11:00 a.m. on April 4. In the closed caucuses, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent statewide in order to be considered viable. The 14 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the caucus. Originally planned with 13 delegates, the final number included a 10% bonus of 1 additional delegate by the Democratic National Committee due to the April date, which belonged to Stage II on the primary timetable.[4] Of the original 13 delegates, 8 district delegates would have corresponded to the result of the statewide vote (coterminous with Wyoming's sole congressional district) and another 2 were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 3 at-large pledged delegates, both also according to the statewide result. However, instead of applying the typical divide between district and statewide delegates, 12 of the state's 14 pledged delegates were all pooled as statewide at-large delegates, in addition to the 2 statewide PLEO delegates.[5]

The caucuses would also have designated delegates to the state convention expected in June 2020, where all pledged delegates should have been chosen. The 14 pledged delegates Wyoming sent to the national convention were joined by 4 unpledged PLEO delegates (4 members of the Democratic National Committee).[5]
