19 March 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 23, Bradley
0. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" field.
The Popular Vote above is based on unofficial
returns from the 11 March caucus (100% of the caucuses
reporting). (A state run primary was held on 22 February 2000. The results
of this primary - Uncommitted: 31,655, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.: 13,195 - have
no bearing on the delegete selection process.)
Note on Voter Eligibility: Anyone, regardless of party affiliation, may participate in the March 11, 2000 Presidential Caucuses. However, during registration at the Caucus, everyone must sign a form declaring him or herself as a Democrat for purposes of participating in the Presidential Caucus.
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 Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is not entitled to receive At-Large and PLEO delegates.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.

Michigan Democrats have replaced their 12 February Presidential
Advisory Primary with an 11 March Caucus.
Monday, 3 January 2000: Last day for Presidential candidates to file
a statement of candidacy with the State Chair.
Wednesday, 1 March 2000: 26 Unpledged PLEOs
consisting of Michigan's 11 federal lawmakers and 15 Democratic
National Committee members are automatically selected.
Saturday, 11 March 2000: Presidential Caucus. Today's caucuses
choose delegates to the District Conventions. Delegates are selected
based on presidential preference with a 15 percent threshold required
in order for a presidential contender to gain support of any delegates
to said District Conventions. (No National Convention delegates are
selected today.)
The Caucuses will convene at 11:00 A.M. You must be there by 11:00 A.M. in order to
participate. Registration will start by 10:00 A.M. Michigan will hold an "Iowa style" caucus; each Caucus will convene on the same day and at the same time across the state. All participants must complete a registration sign-in, including a public declaration that they are a Democrat. Participants then "break out" by presidential preference to cast and count
the vote. Each Caucus will adjourn no later than two hours after convening. Results are reported back to the MDP that day.
NOTE: the "break out" refers to the technique of having caucus particpants actually line up [or at least stand in different parts of the room] to indicate their support for a given presidential contender....
Saturday, 6 May 2000: District Conventions. 84 delegates are
selected based on the results of the 11 March Presidential Caucus.
The District Conventions choose the 84 district National
Convention delegates from Michigan (divvied up among the state's 16
congressional districts, so that each district will have 4 to 8
district National Convention delegates)- subject to the same 15 percent
threshold requirement for a presidential contender to be allocated any
of these delegates.
Saturday, 20 May 2000: The remaining 47 delegates are elected at
today's Democratic State Central Committee meeting. Election
breakdown: 2 unpledged add-ons, 17 pledged PLEO,
and 28 pledged at-large delegates.
The breakdown of unpledged delegates is:
- 15 Democratic National Committee members
- 11 Members of Congress (1 Senator, 10 Representatives)
- 2 add-ons
The State Central Committee meeting will choose the
remaining 47 pledged National Convention delegates subject to that same
15 percent threshold requirement among the participants- as per
Democratic Party national rules.
Monday, 22 May 2000: State Chair shall certify to the Secretary of
DNC the election of all 157 convention delegates.

The following listing of the Minor Civil Divisions (also known as "County Subdivisions") included in each Congressional District of which the so-called DIVIDED COUNTIES are a part contains references to the Townships and the Cities only. There are two types of Municipality in Michigan: the City and the Village- but, while the City is administratively and governmentally separate from any Township, the Village remains a part of its Township and, thus, is itself a further subdivision of the Township; therefore, Villages- unlike Cities and Townships- do not constitute Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions of the first order in the State of Michigan and, thus, no Villages are noted in this listing:
