2016 Republican National Convention

Delegate rules

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

Delegates from Alaska to the Republican National Convention were elected at the Alaska GOP state convention in April 2016. The Alaska Republican Party rules for 2016 required delegates to vote at the convention for the candidate to whom they pledged their support at the time of their election at the state convention. Delegates could vote for a different candidate than the one to whom they pledged their support only if, after the second round of voting, that candidate had received the lowest number of votes. If a candidate "dropped out" of the race prior to the national convention, his or her delegates were reapportioned among the remaining candidates.

See also:2016 presidential nominations: calendar and delegate rules

Alaska had 28 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, three were district-level delegates (three for the state's single congressional district). District-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 13 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to win a share of Alaska's district delegates.

Of the remaining 25 delegates, 22 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 13 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to win a share of Alaska's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as pledged delegates to the Republican National Convention.
