The vote above is from the 11 March and 12 March
caucuses. (These are the final results).
Here's how we compute the district 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.
- 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.

The "vote" is the percentage of delegates rounded to the nearest whole
number.
The 10 Pledged PLEO and 16 At-Large delegates are allocated by
the statewide qualified vote. Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from
the campaign, is not entitled to receive At-Large and PLEO
delegates. Al Gore, the only remaining candidate to receive 15% of
the statewide vote, receives these 26 delegates.
Note: Minnesota state law specifies that precinct caucuses will
take place at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday in March -- March 7 this
year. However, because the courts have ruled that the conduct of a
political party's affairs is up to the party alone, not the
Legislature, the DFL Party will be holding a binding presidential
primary in conjunction with the party's precinct meetings on Saturday
and Sunday, March 11 and 12.
Saturday 11 March and Sunday 12 March 2000: 74 of 91 delegates to
the Democratic National Convention are allocated to presidential
contenders based on the results of the voting at this weekend's
Minnesota Democratic Precinct Meetings.
- "These precinct meetings in Minnesota make up what is generally
known as a "firehouse primary", as the party's precinct meetings- at
which local party officers are elected and delegates are chosen for the
party's county and higher tier conventions (organizational bodies
having nothing directly to do with the allocation of National
Convention delegates to presidential contenders though they will choose
the actual delegates themselves)- are also hosting a binding
presidential primary at the same time. 48 district delegates are to be
allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the
results from this "firehouse primary" in each of the State's 8
congressional districts. In addition, 16 at-large National Convention
delegates plus 10 Pledged PLEOs are to be allocated to presidential
contenders based on the results from the "firehouse primary" 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."
District Delegate Allocation:

- 7 Members of Congress (1 Senator, 6 Representatives)
- 1 Distinguished Party Leader (former Vice President Walter Mondale)
