While Arizona did not hold a formal primary to select delegates to represent the state at the Democratic National Convention , it did hold a state convention in April where delegates were selected . Since Arizona traditionally operated under the " unit role " at conventions ( under which the entire delegation voted for one candidate as a unified bloc ) , a candidate who could secure a simple majority of their delegation 's support would be able to receive the votes of all 17 delegates
