In some earlier elections, in place of a primary, a caucus system was used by Democrats Abroad to determine their convention delegations.
[1] After Biden's withdrawal from the election on July 21, the delegates voted unanimously for Vice President Kamala Harris at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

On May 28, 2012, Democrats Abroad released the full list of delegates elected in the organization's Global Primary.

These meetings also provided an opportunity for Americans abroad to shape the party's election platform.
Democrats Abroad Regional Caucuses for Europe-Middle East-Africa took place in Brussels on March 15, 2008, and for the Americas and Asia-Pacific in Vancouver, Canada, on April 11, 2008.
On February 21, 2008, Democrats Abroad announced that Senator Barack Obama won the organization's Global Primary.
These results determined the allocation of 4.5 delegate votes at the Democratic National Convention.
