The table below shows the schedule for each State Convention where Unpledged Add-on Delegates will be selected.
The following description of the Add-on Delegates is taken from the Democratic National Convention Committee(DNCC) web site:
"Add-on delegates - may be selected by either the same selecting body that selects the state's PLEO delegates or by the same selecting body which will select the state's "at-large" delegates. They can be selected whether or not they previously filed a statement of candidacy for a delegate position or submitted a pledge of support for a presidential candidate."There are currently 76 Unpledged Add-on delegates, with 5 additional from Florida and Michigan if those delegations are seated. Florida and Michigan Add-Ons are displayed in RED and don't count toward the nomination at this time.
Add-ons who have endorsed are shown by a (O) or (C) after their name. They will be listed on our endorsement page. If no letter is shown, they are on the Undeclared list.
Update April 4: The AP provides an interesting overview of the add-ons are how they are selected.
Note: Some states have given information about their future add-on selections. This information is shown the below the table.

Future Add-on selection information:
- John Knutson, chairman of the Maine Democratic Party, said Sunday that his add-on to the superdelegate lineup will be a Barack Obama supporter. - Politicker ME.
- In California, Torres has come up with a diplomatic way to select his five delegates. He said he plans to award them in proportion to the vote in California's Democratic primary. Clinton received about 52 percent of the vote, so she gets three; Obama got 43 percent of the vote, so he gets two. - AP
- [Wyoming Democratic Chairman John] Millin, who has endorsed Obama, said he plans to choose another Obama supporter for the spot, though he hopes their votes are not decisive. - AP
Special thanks to Quon_mom for compiling all of the data for the table!

Does this mean all the add-on delegates for a given state will be chosen so as to support the overall delegate winner of that state?
What does it mean when it says there are both pledged and unpledged add-on delegates? I haven't seen any reference to pledged add-ons anywhere. Are they talking about the pledged at-large delegates?
Jose - We have not made any implication about how the add-ons will be chosen. Each state has different rules - we'll be watching this closely.
Kcindc - that text made no sense to me either, and I've deleted in from the post. There's no reference in the DNC documentation that I have to pledged add-on delegates. Nothing could be better than the DNCC website to have confusing information on it.
Thanks for this, suggest it would be useful to also add a column to show where available the delgate results of the Primary or Caucaus whic determines who is at the State convention.
I think in those states with 1 delegate the winner will determine who gets elected, in those with more than 1 the state rules may have some proportionality or it may be winner takes all as "in theory" these are not pledged delegates.
You should probably add Mark Panetta's name to the DC unpledged add-on tally in your table (Apr. 3). The "DC statehood Representative" is already listed in the Obama endorsement column.
Typically yes it does mean that the add-on goes to the state winner. In 2004, Oregon gave Kucinich a few delegates but the add-on went to Kerry as the statewide winner.
Now I'm even more confused. Are these 76 / 81 "add on" delegates part of the roughly 343 undeclared superdelegates? Or are they supposed to be choosen and then immediately/quickly given an "assignment" of who it is they are supposed to vote for at the convention?
As for the CT add-on, it is being selected at a meeting being held *at* State Central (the office suite in Hartford), but not *by* State Central (the elected body which constitutes the official state Democratic party.)
The district-level delegates will be selecting the add on, and the district-level delegation reads 17 for Obama, 14 for Clinton.
rickyjames - the add-ons are officially "Unpledged", so they are not "assigned" in any way. If one candidate controls the selection process they may be able to pick an add-on who feels the same way, but that's a selection issue. The are unpledged, and are part of the 343.
I think you mean they're part of the 795 (the superdelegates), and *most* of them are currently part of the 343 (the undeclared superdelegates). But 2 of them have declared for Obama, and presumably others will be assigned to Obama or Clinton as they make statements, just like any other superdelegates.
Thanks for the clarification. I understand that there may be some "spin" in the selection process that yields picks in this group that lean in one direction or the other, but the clarification that they are officially "superdelegates" helps. The thing that confuses me is that there are still states who have already held their primaries / caucuses that have apparently still not specified / awarded all of their pledged delegates yet. I still don't know what they're waiting for, you'd think the pledged delegates would all be identified by candidate the day after the election, but nooooooo.....
Just out of curiosity, does the DCW/AP/CNN/CBS etc numbers include some sort of estimated split of these "still in limbo" pledged delegates? Any chance of a sudden surprise that a block (like that creepy "Unknown - IA" of 14 you list below Edwards delegates) will suddenly be announced as "for Clinton" and shift the current balance in a big way?
rickyjames - not sure what your definition of "still in limbo", but the media includes estimates of national pledged delegates where it thinks it has enough information to do so.
The Iowa 14 will depend on what happens at the County Conventions this Saturday. See the post made earlier today for more details.
In a few weeks you may want to add a column that specifies who the new add-ons have endorsed. It might make it easier to understand. If they are still uncommitted after they are named it should be so noted.

I second math 101's motion. It would be extremely helpful to have this info in this chart without having to navigate around the site to figure out add-on endorsements. Maybe a total at the top or bottom of the chart of endorsements for Obama, Clinton, and Uncommitted.
This is such an awesome site. Thanks!!!
We've added a (O) or (C) after each add-on who has endorsed. Hope that helps. The Supers by Position in the sidebar gives the totals for the add-ons, currently 5 for Obama, 1 for Clinton.
Your date is wrong for the Add-on for Maine. The selection date is June 1.

http://mainedems.org/documents/DraftAgenda.doc
Maine has been fixed, thanks. In case anybody missed it, NJ add-ons were added yesterday.
I am rather confused about New Hampshire. Is Kathy Franklin the same person as Kathy Sullivan? If they are two different people, then why is Kathy Franklin not on the Superdelegate Endorsement List?
Fixed. Kathy Sullivan is the correct add-on.
Added addons: Kathy Sullivan (NH), Terry Goddard (AZ), Laurie Weahkee (NM).
We've added some notes at the bottom with future add-on selection information. Let us know if you find other information like this.
* Former state Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum, an Obama supporter, has been selected as the add-on from South Carolina.
* Maryland has chosen former Gov. Parris N. Glendening and former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend as its add-ons. Townsend is a Clinton supporter, and Glendening is backing Obama. - Baltimore Sun.
Post will be updated tonight.
Matt,
Glendening is missing an "(O)" in the list. The projected tally for the candidates also needs to be updated.
Glendening fixed. I believe projected tally is correct at 8-3.
How soon can we expect the election results from the quorum of district-level delegates during the Utah State Convention today? Mid-day? Late afternoon? This evening? Next day?
Kristi Cumming has been elected add-on for Utah, according to utdemocrats web site.
Delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Denver were elected Friday, including unpledged add-on (or so-called superdelegate), Kristi Cumming. A complete list of delegates and candidates for the November ballot will be posted on Saturday.

I hate to be a spelling pedant, but there's an error in your transcription of the add-on rules.
"Add-on delegates - maybe selected by either the same selecting body...
should be
"Add-on delegates - may be selected by either the same selecting body...
Cumming added to table, and is for Obama.
OH add-ons are Dave Regan and William Craig Bashein
http://www.buckeyestateblog.com/redfern_appoints_his_delegates
According to fundrace.huffingtonpost.com, William C Bashein (OH add-on???) has previously given money to the John Edwards campaign.
Second MA add-on is Attorney General Martha Coakley. We have her as uncommitted.
