(CNN)Former Vice President Joe Biden has won the Kansas Democratic Party, according to a release from the state party.
Biden won 76.9% in the vote-by-mail contest run by the state party, which implemented ranked-choice voting this year. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who dropped out of the race last month, won 23.1%, making him the only other candidate eligible for delegates to the national convention.
Despite the competition for the Democratic nomination effectively ending with Sanders' suspension, the party still received more than 145,000 ballots.
"The KDP offers its congratulations to former Vice President Joseph Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders for receiving delegates from the Sunflower State. Kansas Democrats made history in this election with record participation levels along with demonstrating how a vote-by-mail election can protect voters and our Democracy, even in the most uncertain of times," Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Vicki Hiatt said in a statement.
