1984 Alabama Democratic presidential primary

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.^[1] 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.

Four candidates won delegates, John Glenn, Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson, and Walter Mondale won the statewide vote by a large plurality. At the Convention roll call, Alabama cast thirty-nine votes for Mondale, thirteen for Hart, nine for Jackson, and one for Martha Kirkland, the probate judge for Escambia County.^[2]
