2 May 2000: Unpledged delegate preference update: Gore 15. Unpledged delegates appear in the "Soft Unpledged" field.
The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 2
May Primary. Votes cast for "No Preference" are shown as
"Uncommitted". 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.
- 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 Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is not entitled to receive At-Large and PLEO delegates.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.

Delegate Estimate: Even though the Congressional District vote is not yet
available Gore has most likely won about 44 of the 56 district
delegates (Bradley's 19% showing would give Bradley about 1
delegate in each of the 12 congressional districts). Gore, the only
active candidate to receive 15% of the statewide vote will receive the
19 at-large and 11 pledged PLEO delegates.
Tuesday 2 May 2000: 86 of 103 delegates to the Democratic National
Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the
results of the voting in today's North Carolina Presidential Primary.
- "56 district delegates are to be allocated proportionally to
presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the
State's 12 congressional districts. In addition, 19 at-large National
Convention delegates plus 11 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 17 National Convention delegates consist of 15 Unpledged
PLEOs and 2 Unpledged "add-on"s; these 17 delegates will go to the
Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".
The breakdown of unpledged delegates is:
- 8 Democratic National Committee members
- 6 Members of Congress (1 Senator, 5 Representatives)
- 1 Governor
- 2 add-ons
