Fifty-six delegates were to be elected, four from each of the state's nine congressional districts, with twenty at-large delegates to be elected. The fifty-six delegates were worth 29 votes: district and at-large delegates received a half vote each, with national committee members having a full vote. On June 3, 1960, days after the runoff, the Associated Press determined that of the fifty-six elected delegates, twenty-one would go to Lyndon B. Johnson, ten to Richard Russell Jr., and three to Stuart Symington.21 Johnson votes https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-selma-times-journal-21-johnson-votes/181284981/ 18 September 2025 The Selma Times-Journal Associated Press 3 June 1960 At the convention roll call, forty Alabama delegates voted for Johnson (worth 20 votes), seven each for Kennedy and Symington (3½ votes each), and four for four other candidates (½ vote each).Vote On First Rollcall https://www.newspapers.com/article/birmingham-post-herald/181286201/ 18 September 2025 Birmingham Post-Herald United Press International 14 July 1960 At-large delegates First round First round results (at-large, 20 to be elected)PledgeState-at-large Delegate Poll https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-montgomery-advertiser-state-at-large/181281715/ 18 September 2025 The Montgomery Advertiser 30 April 1960 Delegate Votes % Uncommitted MacDonald Gallion142,76273.93% Uncommitted William G.
