The 2000 North Carolina Democratic presidential primary took place on May 2, 2000, as one of 3 contests scheduled in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election, following the Alaska caucus the weekend before. The North Carolina primary was a semi-closed primary, with the state awarding 103 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 86 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.
Vice president Al Gore won the state with 70% of the vote, gaining 73 delegates, far ahead of senator Bill Bradley, who attained around 18% and 13 delegates. The Uncommitted option won around 9% of the vote and Lyndon LaRouche Jr. won just 2%, failing to meet the threshold to attain delegates.
