Delegate rules
Delegates from New Mexico to the Republican National Convention were elected at a state convention in May 2016. New Mexico delegates were bound for the first ballot at the convention. As of July 2016, New Mexico state law explicitly criminalized the conduct of any delegate who does not vote for the presidential candidate to whom they are pledged. A violation of the delegate's pledge to support that candidate on the first ballot was considered a petty misdemeanor.
