How Are Delegates Elected? |

|
Once preference groups are viable, the caucus chair will use the following formula to allocate the number of delegates for each preference group.
Delegate Apportionment: Delegates to be elected at the Caucus shall be divided according to each group's size. The following formula shall apply:
Number of eligible
attendees in a
preference group |
X |
Number of Delegates to be
elected from that Precinct
Caucus |
Divided by: Total number of eligible caucus attendees
Equals: Number of delegates to be elected by that group
*Round fractions UP at .5 and DOWN at less than .5 when apportioning delegates.
· Once each preference group knows how many delegates they can elect, they do so within their preference group.
· Groups electing more than one delegate must try, to the extent possible, to elect equal numbers of men and women delegates.
· The number of alternate delegates that may be elected is not limited. Alternate delegates are also elected within preference groups.
· Once preference groups elect all the delegates, the caucus comes back together as one group and must ratify the slate of delegates and alternates.
