Maryland had 38 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 24 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's eight congressional districts). Maryland's district delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who won a plurality of the vote in a given district received all of that district's delegates.[14][15]
Of the remaining 14 delegates, 11 served at large. Maryland's at-large delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who won a plurality of the statewide vote received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.
