WHAT HAPPENS AT CONVENTION
Every four years,
the Republican Party has a Convention to determine the Party Platform, vote on
the rules to govern the Party, and to nominate candidates for President
and Vice President.
THE DELEGATES
Delegates are
selected and empowered at the grassroots level by their peers to represent
their state or territory at the Convention. There are 2,472 delegates.
BECOMING THE NOMINEE
A candidate must win the votes of a majority of delegates to
secure the nomination. In 2016, the magic number is 1,237 (50% + 1
of the 2,472 Convention delegates). Most delegates will go to Convention
“bound” to vote for a particular candidate, based on how their state or
territory voted.
THE RULES
The rules of the
Convention are unique to each Convention and voted upon by the
delegates.
THE RNC’S ROLE
The RNC plays a purely
administrative role at Convention, ensuring that therules and processes are
carried out in a transparent manner.
