Former vice president Joe Biden as the sole remaining Democratic candidate won nearly 77% of the vote and all 29 delegates, with senator Bernie Sanders getting an overall statewide result of around 14% and very narrowly missing out on winning a delegate in the 2nd congressional district,[1] and senator Elizabeth Warren as one of only two other withdrawn candidates on the ballot receiving 6%.

Nebraska was the first state in the Democratic primaries to hand all of its delegates to one candidate.

While the Democratic Party of Nebraska previously had used caucuses as their nominating process, the party's central committee decided on December 8, 2018 to return to a primary system after the proposal had been "overwhelmingly" supported in a voice vote.

In the semi-closed primary, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable.

The 29 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary.
