The Popular Vote above is based on official
returns from the 6 June Primary.
This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These
coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.
Al Gore is the only candidate to receive 15% of the vote. He will
receive the 35 district, 12 at-large, and 7 pledged PLEO delegates.
6 June 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 9. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" column.
Here's how we compute the delegate count:
- A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard those votes cast for candidates who do not qualify.
- Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the statewide qualified vote. Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is not entitled to receive At-Large and PLEO delegates.
- In each jurisdiction:
- Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
- Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
- Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
- If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.

State's 7 congressional districts. In addition, 12 at-large National
