4 August 2000: On July 26, 2000 Congressman Matthew "Marty" Martinez (California
District 31) switched his affiliation from Democrat to Republican.
This means that Congressman Martinez will not attend the convention as
an unpledged PLEO delegate. The the size of the California Delegation
has decreased from 435 to 434 delegates.
30 April 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 61, Bradley
0. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" field.
18 March 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 59,
Bradley 2. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" field.
Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is no longer
entitled to receive At-Large and unpledged PLEO delegates (rule 9.C).
The 15 At-Large and 9 unpledged PLEO delegates originally assigned to
Bradley have been reassigned to Gore in our "Soft Pledged". The "Hard
Total" however, shows the delegates as originally assigned.
The Popular Vote above is based on official returns
of registered Democratic voters from the 7 March Primary. While this is an
Open Primary, delegate allocation is based exclusively on the votes of
Registered Democrats. This Presidential Primary coincides with a
state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact
upon voter turnout.
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. Gore alone received 15% or more of the vote in many districts, hence, he receives all of the delegates from that district.
- Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the statewide qualified vote.
- 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.

Tuesday 7 March 2000: 367 of 435 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's California Presidential Primary.
- "239 district delegates are to be allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the State's 52 congressional districts. In addition, 80 at-large National Convention delegates plus 48 Pledged PLEOs are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level."
The remaining 68 National Convention delegates consist of 63 Unpledged PLEOs and 5 Unpledged "add-on"s; these 68 delegates will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".
"The breakdown of Unpledged Party Leader and Elected Official delegates
to the Democratic National Convention below is somewhat different from
that provided by the Democratic Party: the reason for this is that the
state's Governor along with one or more of its Members of Congress are
also members of the Democratic National Committee and are considered to
be DNC members (i.e. "Party Leaders") rather than Democratic office
holders (i.e. "Elected Officials") by the Party. However, it is the
opinion of "The Green Papers" that the average voter/citizen or other
interested party who accesses this website would more readily identify
Party Leaders who are also Elected Officials by their political office
rather than their status as members of the DNC and we, therefore, count
them as Elected Officials rather than as Party Leaders in the following
breakdown:"
- 31 Democratic National Committee members
- 30 Members of Congress (2 Senators and 28 Representatives)
- 1 Governor
- 1 Distinguished Party Leader
- 5 add-ons
