How N.C.'s delegates will be divvied up


How will the Democratic delegates be divvied up?

Because it did not move its primary date, North Carolina has a much larger cache of delegates than similarly sized states, 134 in all.

Here's how they will be given out:

77: Based on the voting percentage in each of the 13 Congressional districts. The Fourth District has the most with nine; the Third District, the least with four.

38: Based on the voting percentage statewide.

17: Superdelegates who cast their vote however they want. Three have already committed to Barack Obama already, and one to Hillary Clinton.

2: Elected at the state convention on June 21. State party chairman Jerry Meek, who is neutral, will submit a list of four names. The would-be delegates may or may not publicly state who they will support before the convention vote.

After the jump, the number of delegates from each district.

It's open to unaffiliated voters.

Is NC's Democratic primary limited to just registered Democrats, or open to unaffiliated voters as well?
