2020 Alabama Democratic presidential primary

The 2020 Alabama Democratic presidential primary took place in Alabama, United States, on March 3, 2020, as one of 14 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election, following the South Carolina primary in the weekend before. This open primary allocated 52 pledged delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, distributed in proportion to the results of the primary, statewide and within each congressional district. The state was also given an additional 9 unpledged delegates (superdelegates), whose votes at the convention were not bound to the result of the primary. Joe Biden won by an overwhelming landslide, winning every county in the state.

Procedure

Alabama is one of 14 states holding primaries on March 3, 2020, also known as "Super Tuesday",[1] having joined other southern states on the date after the signing of a bill shifting the date on June 10, 2015.[2]

Voting is expected to take place from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. In the open primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 52 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of the 52 pledged delegates, between 4 and 8 are allocated to each of the state's 7 congressional districts and another 7 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 11 at-large pledged delegates. Bonus delegates will be allocated as Alabama shares a primary date with numerous other states on Super Tuesday; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates.[3]

Should presidential candidates be allocated more delegates based on the results of the primary than delegate candidates presented, then supplemental delegates will be elected at caucuses on Saturday, March 28, 2020.[4] The national convention delegation meeting will subsequently be held on Saturday, April 4, 2020, to vote on the 11 pledged at-large and 7 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 52 pledged delegates Alabama sends to the national convention will be joined by 9 unpledged PLEO delegates (7 members of the Democratic National Committee, Senator Doug Jones, and U.S. Representative Terri Sewell).[3]
