Apresidential primary was held in theU.S. state ofAlabama on June 2, 1992, to elect delegates representing Alabama to the1992 Democratic National Convention. Alabama was allotted sixty-seven delegates, thirty-six of which would be divided amongthe state's seven congressional districts, with twelve being divided among the candidates in proportion to their share of the statewide vote. The remaining delegates went to party leaders and elected officials, or "superdelegates."[1]
Governor of ArkansasBill Clinton won the state by a substantial margin, taking a large majority of both the congressional district delegates and the at-large delegates, picking up thirty-eight in total.Uncommitted delegates won ten seats at the Convention.
