Note: Delegate totals by regions and for the entire day's voting are in italics. Democratic delegate totals include only those at stake in the primary or caucus voting. They do not include unelected superdelegates. Eight of New York's 101 Republican delegates will be selected separately by the state party. An asterisk (*) denotes special cases regarding primary turnouts. Maine held its first presidential primary in 1996; the Democratic turnout is for that year. Missouri held its only previous presidential primary in 1988; Democratic and Republican turnouts are for that year. Turnout for the 1996 Republican primary in New York is an estimate; it was for the election of delegates only. Vermont did not hold a presidential primary in 1992; the Democratic turnout is for 1996.
