The leaderboard and county results are tallied by the Associated Press. Results for individual precincts come from the Iowa Democratic Party.

The Democratic results will be initially provided as state delegate equivalents, which are the estimated number of delegates from the state each candidate will receive based on preliminary results. Those delegates will go on to decide who attends the Democratic National Convention, where the party's nominee will be selected. Once tonight's results are tallied, the state party also plans to release raw vote totals from the caucuses. These totals include the results from satellite caucuses outside the state.
