Delegate allocation
Maryland had 38 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 24 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's eight congressional districts). Maryland's district delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who won a plurality of the vote in a given district received all of that district's delegates.[4][5]
Of the remaining 14 delegates, 11 served at large. Maryland's at-large delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who won a plurality of the statewide vote 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. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[4][5]
