Delegate allocation
New York had 95 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 81 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's 27 congressional districts). New York's district delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the vote in a district in order to be eligible to receive a share of that district's delegates. The first place finisher in a district received two of that district's delegates and the second place finisher received one delegate. If a candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote in a district, he or she received all of that district's delegates.[5][6]
Of the remaining 14 delegates, 11 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to receive a share of the state's at-large delegates. If a candidate won more than 50 percent of the statewide vote, he or she received all of the state's at-large delegates.
