The Michigan primary was a modified open primary, with the state awarding 158 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 129 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the caucus.
Vice president Al Gore decisively won the caucuses, getting almost 83% of the vote and 120 delegates. Senator Bill Bradley received around 16% of the vote and 9 delegates.
Procedure
Michigan was one of three states which held primaries on March 11, 2000, the weekend after Super Tuesday.Presidential Primaries, Caucuses, and Conventions Chronologically - Key and Minor Dates https://www.thegreenpapers.com/PCC/ChAll.html The Green Papers September 20, 2023
Michigan held an "Iowa style" caucus with each caucus convening on the same day and at the same time across the state. All participants had to complete a registration sign-in, including a public declaration that they were a Democrat. Participants then "broke out" by presidential preference to cast and count the vote, which is lining up to show the number of people supporting each candidate. Each caucus adjourned no later than two hours after convening and results were reported back to the Michigan Democratic Party that day.
Voting took place throughout the state from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. local time. In the semi-open caucuses, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 129 pledged delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the caucuses. Of these, between 4 and 8 were allocated to each of the state's 16 congressional districts and another 17 were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 28 at-large delegates.Michigan Democratic Delegation 2000 https://www.thegreenpapers.com/PCC/MI-D.html The Green Papers December 24, 2000 September 20, 2023
