Delegate allocation
Tennessee had 58 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 27 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's nine congressional districts). District-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the district vote in order to be eligible to receive any of a district's delegates. If a candidate won more than 66 percent of the vote in a district, he or she received all of the district's delegates. If the winning candidate in a district won between 20 and 66 percent of the district vote, he or she received two of the district's delegates; the second place finisher received the remaining delegate (if the second place finisher did not meet the 20 percent threshold, all three delegates were allocated to the first place finisher). If no candidate met the 20 percent threshold in a district, the top three finishers each received one of the district's delegates.[4][5]
Of the remaining 31 delegates, 28 served at large. 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 at-large delegates. If a candidate won more than 66 percent of the statewide primary vote, he or she received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[4][5]
