WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Democrats Abroad declared that Sen. Barack Obama won the Global Primary elections that were hosted by the organization.

Obama, D-Ill., won 65 percent of the vote, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., won 32 percent and the other candidates each pulled less than 1 percent of the vote during the Feb. 5-12 voting period, a release said.

The results of the vote reportedly determine the distribution of 4.5 delegate votes for the Democratic National Convention. Obama won 2.5 delegate votes and Clinton won two.

It is reported that the Democrats Abroad Global Convention in April will be where a remaining 2.5 votes will be decided.

Democrats Abroad has four superdelegate votes and a total of 22 delegates who will each get half a vote at the convention, the release said.

The Democrats Abroad Global Primary reportedly opened the highest number of voting centers in its history this year. This was the first primary election in which voters living in countries without centers to vote, could partake by Internet, fax or mail, the report said.
