Coronavirus Cancels Many Democratic Primaries in March and April

The remaining primaries and caucuses to be held in March have all been postponed essentially clearing the calendar for a minimum of several weeks, perhaps longer. The Democratic Primary is in a shambles with regard to any ongoing campaigning or public events for Sen. Bernie Sanders or former vice president Joe Biden.

So far, here is the list of primaries and caucuses canceled in March and April due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. This list is as exhaustive as it could be up to this minute, but things are changing by the hour as states and local officials continue to assess the situation and announce their plans publicly.

Please check with your local election commission or the state authorities at the links below to get the most up to date information.
