2020 Alabama Republican presidential primary
The 2020 Alabama Republican presidential primary took place in Alabama, United States, on March 3, 2020, as one of 13 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Republican Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The Alabama primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 50 delegates towards the 2020 Republican National Convention. [2] It uses the "Winner takes most" system of allocating delegates. This system states that a candidate must receive 15% of the vote to receive any delegates, but only if the winner gets less than 50% of the aggregate vote. Should they do so, it becomes winner-take-all.[3]
