The 2000 Utah Democratic presidential primary took place on March 14, 2000, as one of two contests scheduled for the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election, following the South Carolina caucuses the day before. The Utah primary was an open primary, with any registered voter able to participate. The primary awarded 29 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 24 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
Continuing from his wins on Super Tuesday, Vice president Al Gore placed first by a large margin with around 79% of the vote and won 21 delegates, while Senator Bill Bradley came in second with around 20% and 3 delegates, after withdrawing the night before.https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2000/03/15/bush-gore-clinch-nominations/1257b2f3-09ac-4cce-bab9-ef8650b6d91d/ Bush, Gore Clinch Nominations March 15, 2000 September 13, 2023

The 24 pledged delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of these, between 5 and 6 were allocated to each of the state's 3 congressional districts and another 4 were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 6 at-large delegates.Utah Democratic Delegation 2000 https://www.thegreenpapers.com/PCC/UT-D.html The Green Papers December 23, 2000 September 15, 2023
