Delegate rules

See also: RNC delegate guidelines from Massachusetts, 2016 and Republican delegates from Massachusetts, 2016

District-level delegates from Massachusetts were elected at congressional district caucuses, while at-large delegates were elected by the Massachusetts Republican State Committee. At-large delegate candidates were required to "express a commitment to a qualifying Presidential candidate" prior to their election as delegates. Massachusetts delegates stipulated bound to the candidate to whom they pledged their support through the first round of voting at the national convention. State party bylaws in 2016 stipulated that if a presidential candidate "dies, withdraws, or changes his party registration" prior to the convention, his or her delegates "shall go to the convention unpledged."
