Voting is expected to start and end simultaneously throughout the state , with polling places in the Central Time Zone open from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and those in the Mountain Time Zone open between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m . In the semi-closed primary , candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable . The 25 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary . Of the 25 pledged delegates , between 5 and 9 are allocated to each of the state 's 3 congressional districts and another 3 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials ( PLEO delegates ) , in addition to 7 at-large pledged delegates . These delegate totals assume Nebraska receives bonus delegates from timing and as a result of regional clustering
