The 2000 Montana Democratic presidential primary took place on June 6, 2000, as one of five final primaries on the same day in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election. The Montana primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 24 delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of whom 17 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the primary results.

Procedure

Montana was one of five states to vote on June 6, 2000, in the Democratic primaries, along with Alabama, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota.^[1]

Voting took place throughout the state from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. In the open primary, 11 district delegates are allocated proportionally to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide as Montana has only a single at-large congressional seat. In addition, 4 at-large National Convention delegates plus 2 Pledged PLEOs are also to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at the statewide level. Bill Bradley, having withdrawn from the campaign, is not entitled to receive At-Large and PLEO delegates. The 17 pledged delegates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the primary results. The remaining 7 National Convention delegates consist of 6 Unpledged PLEOs and 1 Unpledged "add-on"; these 7 delegates will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "unpledged." The breakdown of unpledged delegates is 4 Democratic National Committee members, 1 member of Congress, Senator Max Baucus, Montana's sole Congressional Democrat at the time, 1 distinguished party leader, and 1 add-on.^[2]
