A presidential primary was held in the U.S. state of Alabama on March 13, 1984, to elect delegates representing Alabama to the 1984 Democratic National Convention. Alabama was allocated sixty-two delegates, fifty-two of which were pledged. Thirty-five delegates were elected from the seven congressional districts, five each, and the remaining were chosen by the State Democratic Executive Committee to reflect candidates' statewide vote.Sellers Bill 'Super Tuesday' super confusing https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-mobile-register-confusion/181309286/ 18 September 2025 The Mobile Register 19 February 1984 Candidates must win 20% of the vote in a congressional district to be entitled to delegates, and 20% of the statewide vote to be allocated at-large delegates.
