Delegate rules
Delegates from New Jersey to the 2016 Republican National Convention were elected directly by voters in the state primary election on June 7, 2016. Their names appeared on the ballot beneath the candidate they supported. New Jersey delegates were bound on the first ballot at the convention. New Jersey GOP rules in 2016 included a censure rule, stating, "any delegate or alternate allocated and/or committed to a particular candidate by virtue of the results of the June primary election who fails or refuses to act in accordance with their allocation and/or commitment to that candidate as set forth herein shall be subject to censure by the New Jersey Republican State Committee and/or the Country Republican Committees. Censure may include, among other things, being permanently barred from acting as a delegate or alternate to any future National Convention of the Republican Party."
