The 2000 Missouri Democratic presidential primary took place on March 7, 2000, as one of 15 states and one territory holding primaries on the same day, known as Super Tuesday, in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The Missouri primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 92 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 75 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
Vice president Al Gore had won the primary by a landslide, taking around 64% of the vote, winning every county in the state but Jefferson and Ste. Genevieve, and gaining 51 delegates, while senator Bill Bradley received almost 34% of the vote and 24 delegates. Jefferson County is the site of Crystal City, where Bradley was born and raised.

Voting took place throughout the state from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. In the open primary, candidates had to meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 75 pledged delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of these, between five and six were allocated to each of the state's eight congressional districts and another nine were allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 15 at-large delegates.Missouri Democratic Delegation 2000 https://www.thegreenpapers.com/PCC/MO-D.html The Green Papers December 24, 2000 September 20, 2023

The delegation also included 15 unpledged PLEO delegates: nine members of the Democratic National Committee, five representatives from Congress (Bill Clay, Dick Gephardt, Ike Skelton, Karen McCarthy, and Pat Danner), the governor Mel Carnahan, and two add-ons.
