Delaware's district delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the primary received all of the state's district delegates.[1][2]
Of the remaining 13 delegates, 10 served at large. Delaware's at-large delegates were also allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the plurality winner of the primary received all of the state's at-large delegates.
