2000 Oklahoma Democratic presidential primary

The 2000 Oklahoma Democratic presidential primary took place on March 14, 2000, as one of 6 contests scheduled the week after Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election, following the Nevada caucuses the weekend before. The Oklahoma primary was a semi-closed primary, with the state awarding 52 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 45 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.

Vice president Al Gore won another southern primary by a large margin with almost 69% of the vote and 38 delegates, while senator Bill Bradley placed second with around 25% and 7 delegates despite having ended his presidential campaign the previous week. Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. did not reach the threshold and earned no delegates.

Procedure
Louisiana was one of six states which held primaries on March 14, 2000, alongside Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas after Super Tuesday the week before..

Voting took place throughout the state from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. In the semi-closed primary, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable.

Of these, between 4 and 6 were allocated to each of the state's 6 congressional districts and another 6 were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 10 at-large delegates.
