Deborah Arguello was a district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Hawaii.[1] In Hawaii’s Republican caucus on March 8, 2016, Donald Trump won 11 delegates, Ted Cruz won seven, and Marco Rubio won one. Ballotpedia was not able to identify which candidate Arguello was bound by state party rules to support at the national convention. If you have information on how Hawaii’s Republican delegates were allocated, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.[2]
Delegate rules
Hawaii GOP bylaws in 2016 required presidential candidates to form a Hawaii Leadership Committee that was responsible for selecting Hawaii Republican Party members to fill any national delegates won by the candidate in the caucus contests. Delegates from Hawaii were to remain bound to their candidate through the first round of voting at the convention, unless their candidate "withdrew" prior to the convention.

Delegate allocation
Hawaii had 19 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, six were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's two congressional districts). District-level delegates were allocated proportionally in accordance with the caucus results in a given congressional district.[3][4]
Of the remaining 13 delegates, 10 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated proportionally in accordance with the statewide caucus results. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[3][4]

Footnotes

- ↑ 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. If you have additional information on this state's delegation, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.
