Here is how the Republican delegates will be allocated in Washington state:

HOW THE REPUBLICAN DELEGATES ARE ALLOCATED

State Republicans will send 44 delegates to the July national convention in Cleveland. Thirty will be allocated proportionally based on candidate percentages in the congressional districts — three delegates from each of the 10 districts.

If a candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote in a congressional district, they get all three of that district’s delegates. If no candidate gets more than 50 percent and two candidates get more than 20 percent, the one with the most gets two delegates. If three candidates get more than 20 percent, each is allocated one delegate.

Fourteen at-large delegates, which include three Republican National Committee members, will be allocated according to the statewide primary votes. Those delegates are allocated proportionally to candidates with at least 20 percent of the statewide vote.

The delegates were chosen over the weekend at the state Republican convention, but they won’t know who they’re representing until the primary results. Of the 41 elected delegates, 40 were Cruz supporters. However, under party rules, each delegate is bound to the primary results for the first round of voting at the national convention.
