Delegate rules
Delegates from Nevada to the Republican National Convention were elected at the Nevada Republican Convention in May 2016. Delegates were bound on the first ballot unless the candidate to whom they were pledged suspended his campaign. However, a presidential candidate who withdrew from the presidential race could keep his delegates by submitting a request to the state party secretary stating that they remain bound on the first ballot.

Nevada's district-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; each candidate who won a percentage of the statewide caucus vote in Nevada was entitled to a share of the state's district delegates.[3][4]
Of the remaining 18 delegates, 15 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; each candidate who won a percentage of the statewide caucus vote in Nevada was entitled to a share of the state's at-large delegates.

- ↑ To build our list of the state and territorial delegations to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ballotpedia relied primarily upon official lists provided by state and territorial Republican parties, email exchanges and phone interviews with state party officials, official lists provided by state governments, and, in some cases, unofficial lists compiled by local media outlets. When possible, we included what type of delegate the delegate is (at-large, district-level, or RNC) and which candidate they were bound by state and national party bylaws to support at the convention. For most delegations, Ballotpedia was able to track down all of this information. For delegations where we were not able to track down this information or were only able to track down partial lists, we included this note.
