choose 2,472 delegates. In 50 states and territories the delegates were allocated to candidates by popular vote either statewide or on the congressional district level and then elected according to state rules. In six states and territories, the first-instance popular vote did not allocate any delegates; they were elected later at local conventions and either bound to a candidate or uncommitted.<a href="#cite_note-schedule-12">[12]</a> Most delegates were elected as bound delegates, meaning that they were required to vote for a specific candidate on the first ballot at the <a href="/wiki/2016_Republican_National_Convention" title="2016 Republican National Convention">national convention</a>. Some delegates attended the convention as unbound or uncommitted delegates, meaning that they were free to vote for anyone at the first ballot. These 130 uncommitted delegates included 18 unbound RNC delegates<a href="#cite_note-RNC-13">[a]</a> and 112 delegates that have been elected or allocated as uncommitted.<a href="#cite_note-15">[b]</a> Uncommitted delegates were still at liberty to express a preference for a candidate, although that preference was not binding. Among the 901 delegates elected for candidates who later dropped out of the race, 155 were still bound to vote for their candidate on the first ballot<a href="#cite_note-17">[c]</a> and 34 were released<a href="#cite_note-suspend-19">[d]</a> according to the local rules of each state party. If no candidate were elected in the first round of voting, a progressively larger number of delegates would have been allowed to vote for the candidate of their choice. The voting rules on subsequent ballots were determined by individual states: most states released their delegates on the second round of voting, and only four states kept them bound on the third round and beyond.<a href="#cite_note-pbump-20">[16]</a> This table shows how many bound delegates each candidate had won before suspending his or her campaign.<a href="#cite_note-suspend-19">[d]</a> It does not show how many unbound delegates pledged their support to any candidate during the primaries, nor does it show the expected result of the vote at the national convention. Although a state is considered won by a candidate if a <a href="/wiki/Plurality_(voting)" title="Plurality (voting)">plurality</a> of the state's delegates are bound, RNC Rule 40(b)<a href="#cite_note-rule40-21">[17]</a> required a candidate to demonstrate support from a <a href="/wiki/Majority" title="Majority">majority</a> of delegates in eight states to be eligible as the nominee. Convention rules are based on delegate votes, not the popular vote. In the context of Republican primaries, the term "states" refers collectively to the fifty states, the District of Columbia and the five inhabited territories (altogether 56 delegations) as specified in RNC Rule 1(b).<a href="#cite_note-rule1b-22">[18]</a> In the following table, states and territories where the candidates achieved a majority of bound delegates are marked in bold. States and territories where a candidate won a majority of delegates but not a majority of bound delegates are marked in italics. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nominee">Nominee</h3>[<a

Moderates, or the establishment, were represented by Bush and Christie. Several—such as Rubio, Walker, and Kasich—were seen as having political backgrounds that may be appealing to both conservatives and moderates. Not all of these candidates clearly toed the grassroots/establishment divide. For instance, Rubio and Cruz were both elected to the Senate in the early 2010s as members of the Tea Party movement, but by 2015 had been courting the support of prominent party elders, political operatives, and large donors with significant success.<a href="#cite_note-92">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-93">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-washingtonexaminer1-94">[87]</a> Only three of the candidates, Carson, Trump and Fiorina, were true non-establishment candidates in the sense that they had no formal political experience.

Between Super Tuesday and the beginning of the "winner-take-all" primaries, Cruz stayed nearly even with Trump, winning four states to Trump's five. Rubio won several smaller contests such as <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rico" title="Puerto Rico">Puerto Rico</a> and <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a> In the first round of winner-take-all contests on March 15, Trump greatly expanded his lead by winning five of the six contests. After a significant loss to Trump in his home state of Florida, Rubio suspended<a href="#cite_note-suspend-19">[d]</a> his campaign that same day. Meanwhile, Kasich finally gained some momentum by winning his home state of Ohio. As the primary season entered the spring, the mostly-consolidated field resulted in a closing of the gap between Trump and Cruz, with Trump sweeping the <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">South</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">Northeast</a>, and parts of the <a href="/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" title="Midwestern United States">Midwest</a> while Cruz performed strongly in the <a href="/wiki/Western_United_States" title="Western United States">West</a> and scored a surprise victory in <a href="/wiki/Maine" title="Maine">Maine</a>.

The four were listed as being Trump, Carson, Rubio, and Cruz: Trump and Carson for their appeal as outsiders, as well as their opposite personalities—with Trump's blunt nature and tough foreign policy stances, against Carson's soft-spoken nature and personal favorability—Rubio for his appeal to Hispanics and his stance on such issues as immigration reform, combined with strong debate performances and significant donor backing and Cruz for his appeal to Tea Party and Christian conservative voters, which was seen as possibly having a strong impact in the southern states.<a href="#cite_note-155">[148]</a><a href="#cite_note-156">[149]</a> On November 17, 2015, Jindal became the third major Republican candidate to drop out.<a href="#cite_note-157">[150]</a> The <a href="/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks" title="November 2015 Paris attacks">November 2015 Paris attacks</a>, which killed 130 people days before Jindal dropped out, were widely seen as having a significant impact on the 2016 presidential race, particularly on the Republican side.<a href="#cite_note-158">[151]</a> The attacks were seen as boosting the campaigns of those with tough stances on immigration like Trump and Cruz, as well as the foreign policy hawks like Rubio.<a href="#cite_note-159">[152]</a><a href="#cite_note-160">[153]</a> Possibly as a result, Carson—who had previously been perceived as uninformed and relatively inarticulate on foreign policy—began to suffer in the polls, with Trump once again solidifying a double-digit lead over everyone else, while Rubio and Cruz began to steadily rise as Carson's numbers declined.<a href="#cite_note-huffpost2-147">[140]</a><a href="#cite_note-161">[154]</a> By December, Cruz had overtaken Carson by solidifying a base of support among Christian conservatives and averaged national polling of 18%, second only to Trump.<a href="#cite_note-162">[155]</a> The non-interventionist Paul still failed to make traction at this juncture, while Carson fell down to about 10%, roughly even with Rubio.<a href="#cite_note-huffpost2-147">[140]</a> On December 15, 2015, there was another presidential debate, which saw no major changes in the perceptions of the candidates.

There were also contests in Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, and the Northern Mariana Islands, totaling 367 delegates.

Committee</a> (RNC) imposed strict new rules for states wishing to hold early contests in 2016.<a href="#cite_note-hill_rnc-249">[239]</a> Under these rules, no state was permitted to hold a primary or caucus in January. Only Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada were entitled to February contests. States with primaries or caucuses in early March were to award their delegates proportionally.<a href="#cite_note-hill_rnc-249">[239]</a> Any state that might have violated these rules was to have their delegation to the <a href="/wiki/2016_Republican_National_Convention" title="2016 Republican National Convention">2016 convention</a> severely cut: states with more than 30 delegates would have been deprived of all but nine, plus RNC members from that state. States with fewer than 30 would have been reduced to six, plus RNC members.<a href="#cite_note-hill_rnc-249">[239]</a> In contrast to the 2012 cycle, no states violated these rules. The Republican Party presidential primaries and caucuses are <a href="/wiki/Indirect_election" title="Indirect election">indirect elections</a> in which voters allocated or elect delegates to the <a href="/wiki/2016_Republican_National_Convention" title="2016 Republican National Convention">2016 Republican National Convention</a>. These delegates can be bound or unbound to vote for a particular candidate. The election of the state delegation can happen directly or indirectly as the primary election table below shows. <ul><li>Date: The date given in the first column is the date of the popular primary or caucus in a particular state or territory. This event may or may not allocate delegates. Two more dates are also important in the process: the date on which Congressional District delegates are (s)elected, and the date on which state delegates are (s)elected. Some events stretch for more than one day; in these cases the date stated in the table is the final day of the event.</li> <li>State delegation: Each delegation is made up of up to three kinds of delegates: party members, delegates from the congressional districts and delegates from the state at-large. They can either be bound, meaning that they are legally bound to vote for a particular candidate in the first ballot at the National Convention, or they can be unbound, meaning that they are free to vote for any candidate at the National Convention. Bound delegates' voting obligations are not necessarily in line with their own personal views, and thus cannot always be used as an indicator as to how a certain delegate will vote should there be more than one ballot at the convention. If a candidate suspends his campaign,<a href="#cite_note-suspend-19">[d]</a> the delegates allocated and/or elected to him may become unbound or stay bound depending on state rules <ul><li>RNC: Three Republican National Committee members from each state will go to the National Convention as delegates. Most of them will be bound to a candidate according to the result of the primary or caucuses. Only fifteen RNC members will be unbound, their states and territories are marked with a footnote.</li> <li>AL: At Large delegates are elected as representatives of the whole state. Each state is allotted ten delegates and each territory six delegates. Each state can on top of this get bonus delegates based on whether it has a Republican governor, it has Republican majorities in one or all chambers of its state legislature, and whether it has Republican majorities in its delegation to the U.S. Congress, among other factors.<a href="#cite_note-greenpapersGOPDelegates-250">[240]</a> With the exception of Missouri all these delegates are allocated at the state level.</li> <li>CD: Each Congregational District have been assigned three delegates. These are allocated either on the District or State level according to state rules.</li></ul></li> <li>Allocation: Delegates can either be allocated or unallocated at the starting primary or caucuses. They can be allocated to a candidate or as uncommitted. Those delegates that are not allocated at the starting event will later be elected either bound to a candidate or uncommitted also called unbound. The contests that allocate delegates on state and district levels use the following allocating systems: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Plurality_voting_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Plurality voting system">Winner-take-all</a>. The candidate receiving the most votes is allocated all the delegates. A few states allocated all their delegates based solely on the statewide vote, but most allocated the AL delegates based on the statewide vote and the CD delegates based on the district vote in each districts. This means a candidate can "win" a state without getting all the delegates in that state's delegation.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Proportional_representation" title="Proportional representation">Proportional</a>. All candidates receive delegates in accordance with the popular vote at the primary or caucuses.</li> <li>Winner-take-most. This is a hybrid of winner-take-all and proportional. The delegates are allocated proportionally but different rules ensure that only the leading candidates take part in the allocation. If a candidate gets more than a certain threshold of the votes he will be allocated all the delegates, otherwise it is allocated proportionally. High thresholds are in place in winner-take-most primaries or caucuses. Additional rules are also in place in some states.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Direct_election" title="Direct election">Direct election</a>. Instead of voting for a candidate at the primary or caucuses the voters elect the delegates directly. The delegates can state their presidential preference (and be elected on a particular candidate's "ticket") or they can be elected as uncommitted.</li></ul></li> <li>Election: Delegates are elected before, at the same time or after the starting event depending on the allocation method and the state rules. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Political_convention" class="mw-redirect" title="Political convention">Convention</a>. This including Congressional District Conventions, Congressional District Caucuses at State Conventions, Summer Meetings, State and <abbr title="Congressional District">CD</abbr> delegation selection meetings and State Conventions where delegates are elected. Conventions where National Delegates are not (s)elected have not been included in the tablet.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Direct_election" title="Direct election">Direct election</a>. The National Convention delegates are elected directly on the ballot. They will either be bound, as a delegation, to the result of the contest or they will individually state on the ballot what candidate they will be bound to or if they wish to be elected as unbound delegates depending.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Slate_(elections)" title="Slate (elections)">Slate</a>. A slate can be made up in three ways: all candidates submitting a slate before the primary or caucuses, the winning candidate submitting their slate after the primary or caucuses, or the State Committee or Convention making up the slates before the primary or caucuses.

Previously, this had been a lower threshold of a <a href="/wiki/Plurality_(voting)" title="Plurality (voting)">plurality</a> in five states. Per Rule 42, Rules 26–42 are "Standing Rules for this convention (2012) and the temporary rules for the next convention (2016)". While the current candidates operate under these temporary rules, it is unclear whether they will remain in place for the 2016 convention.[<a
