• 33 delegates are to be pledged to presidential contenders based on the primary results statewide.
• 21 at-large National Convention delegates

The results of the Tuesday 1 March 2016 primary are also used to allocate 2,000 district delegates elected at county and city caucuses held from 16 to 18 April 2016. These 2,000 district delegates will attend the congressional district conventions and the State Convention.

All delegates shall in good conscience reflect the sentiments of the presidential candidate to whom they are pledged in that candidate's caucus on the first ballot at the district convention and again at the State Convention.

District and State Convention delegates who do not form a candidate caucus that that reaches a 15% threshold at the district or state level may join another candidate caucus and pledge to that candidate. After joining another candidate caucus, however, the delegates shall remain committed to that candidate throughout the process.
