The 2008 Democrats Abroad presidential primary took place from February 5, 2008 (Super Tuesday) until February 12.
The first voting began at midnight in Indonesia, with one of the first unofficial results coming from a polling station at the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta. Of roughly 100 votes, 75% were for Senator Barack Obama and 25% for Senator Hillary Clinton.[1] The midnight vote was an attempt to replicate the voting at Dixville Notch, New Hampshire during the New Hampshire primary.[2]
This was the first Democrats Abroad primary in which voters could vote online, and by the end of the primary, online votes had been cast from 164 countries and territories. Democrats Abroad announced the worldwide results on February 21, 2008, declaring Barack Obama the winner.[3] Democrats Abroad held a global convention on April 12, 2008.
