There are 291 Democratic delegates up for grab in New York. Of those, 247 will be awarded based on the votes cast by registered party members in the state's 27 congressional districts.
Each congressional district has between five and seven delegates, with a total of 163 awarded based on each district's vote count. An additional 84 are pledged delegates, including delegates to the national party convention, who are awarded to the winner of the statewide primary.
New York's remaining 44 delegates are unpledged "superdelegates." Of those, 21 are awarded by the Democratic National Committee; 20 are controlled by members of congress; two are controlled by "distinguished party leaders;" and one by the governor.
There are 27 congressional districts in the state, and three in the Lower Hudson Valley: The 16th CD covers southern Westchester and parts of the Bronx; the 17th CD covers all of Rockland and western Westchester; and the 18th CD covers all of Putnam and northeast Westchester.
