The 2024 Georgia Democratic presidential primary will be held on March 12, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 124 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates.[1]
Incumbent President Joe Biden announced on April 25, 2023, his bid for a second term. He faces a primary challenge from Representative Dean Phillips
On February 4, 2023, the Democratic National Committee approved a new 2024 primary calendar, moving Georgia's primary ahead to February 13 on the fourth primary date sanctioned by the DNC. This vote was preceded by a December 2022 vote of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee, held after a letter from President Biden requesting the change was released.[2] DNC members who supported this new plan say this will give a better representation of Democratic voters' preference during the early months of the campaign. Members of the Georgia Democratic Party noted that moving their primaries to comply with the new calendar would require changing Georgia state law that mandates the state to hold both the Democratic and Republican primaries on the same day. This is unlikely to happen since the state's legislature is controlled by Republicans.[3][4] In May 2023, Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger denied the DNC's request for a separate February date and scheduled the Georgia primaries for March 12.[5] It is unclear how the DNC will proceed, as its convention rules would penalize Georgia's number of delegates if they are unable to move the primary date to comply with the party's primary calendar.[6]
