Delegate allocation
Washington had 44 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 30 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's 10 congressional districts). Washington's district delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the primary vote within a district in order to be eligible to receive any of that district's delegates. If a candidate won more than 50 percent of the district vote, he or she received all of that district's delegates. If only one candidates broke the 20 percent threshold, that candidate received all of the district's delegates. If two candidates each won more than 20 percent of the district vote, the first place finisher received two of the district's delegates, and the second place finisher received one. If three candidates each received more than 20 percent of the district vote, each candidate received one of the district's delegates. If four candidates each won more than 20 percent of the district vote, the top three finishers each received one delegate.[1][2]
Of the remaining 14 delegates, 11 served at large. Washington's at-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the statewide primary vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's at-large delegates. However, the at-large delegates were allocated in proportion to all candidates who were on the ballot, meaning, if only one candidate surpassed the 20 percent threshold and there were multiple candidates on the ballot, then some delegates could be allocated as unbound delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[1][2]
