The 2024 Florida Democratic presidential primary was originally scheduled to be held on March 19, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 253 delegates to the Democratic National Convention would be allocated to presidential candidates.[1]

On November 30, 2023, Politico reported that the Florida Democratic Party had only submitted Biden's name to the Secretary of State, which means that the primary will be cancelled under Florida law.[2]

This cancellation was criticized by the Dean Phillips[3] and Marianne Williamson campaigns.[4] Williamson and fellow Democratic candidate Cenk Uygur held a press conference over Zoom on December 1 criticizing the move[5]. On December 11, 2023, a voter filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to add Phillips, Williamson, and Cenk Uygur's name to the ballot[6]. The voter lost in district court but is expected to appeal.[7]
