The 2000 Vermont Democratic presidential primary took place on March 7, 2000, as one of 16 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2000 presidential election, following the Washington primary the week before. The Vermont primary was an open primary, with the state awarding 22 delegates towards the 2000 Democratic National Convention, of which 15 were pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary.

Vice president Al Gore won the primary by a closer margin than other contests, gaining over 50% of the vote and 9 delegates. Senator Bill Bradley gave a strong performance with almost 44% of the vote and kept the delegate count close, but was not competitive enough to gain any momentum going forward. Bradley would go on to withdraw at the end of the week after failing to win a single contest.[1]
