The 2016 Republican nominee will be chosen by Primary voters and delegates, as allotted by State parties and Republican Nation Committee (RNC) rules.
How Many Delegates Does Each State Get?
Each State’s delegate allotment is set by National Party rules and includes at-large delegates, Congressional District delegates, and National Party representatives. Apart from the states, the District of Columbia and the five territories are awarded a specified number of at-large delegates.
What Are the Different Kinds of Delegates?
There are three types of delegates: At-Large Delegates (AL), Congressional District Delegates (CD), and Republican National Committee Members (RNC).
- AL delegates are statewide delegates who are residents of that state and are selected at large. Each state receives 10 AL delegates plus additional AL delegates based on the state’s past Republican electoral successes, 10 delegates + bonus.
- CD delegates must be residents of and selected by the Congressional district they represent. Each state gets three CD delegates per district.
- RNC members are automatically National Convention delegates and include the state’s National Committeeman, National Committeewoman, and State Chair, 3 delegates.
How Are Delegates Allocated Among Candidates?
Each state assigns its delegates according to its own rules in consultation with the RNC and according to its location in the primary calendar. There are three main allocation methods:
- Proportional methods divide the state’s delegates based on results of their primary vote. Most proportional states have a threshold percentage that a candidate must reach to be eligible for delegates.
- Proportional states may also award their delegates on a winner-take-all basis for candidates who receive more than 50% of the vote.
*All States with votes between March 1 and March 14 must have proportional allocation.
Winner-Take-All method awards all of the state’s delegates to the candidate that wins the highest percentage of the state’s votes.
- States are permitted to award their delegates based on winner-take-all after March 14.
Hybrid states award delegates based on a combination of methods.
- States are permitted to award their delegates based on winner-take-all after March 14.
