Apresidential primary was held in theU.S. state ofAlabama on May 3, 1960, withrunoff elections on May 31, to elect delegates representing Alabama to the1960 Democratic National Convention. 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, theAssociated Press determined that of the fifty-six elected delegates, twenty-one would go toLyndon B. Johnson, ten toRichard Russell Jr., and three toStuart Symington.[1] 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).[2]
