Saturday 5 March 2016: All 46 of Louisiana's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Presidential Primary. [Delegate Selection Rules Resolution 2015-10. RULES FOR CONVENING OF THE STATE CONVENTION TO ELECT DELEGATES TO THE 2016 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.]

    • 18 District delegates, 3 from each of the state's 6 Congressional Districts, are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders according to the primary vote in each Congressional District. In each Congressional District, multiply the candidate's vote by 3 and divide by the total vote and round to the nearest whole number. If a more than 3 delegates are allocated, subtract a delegate from the candidate that is closest to, but equal or greater than, a 0.5 remainder prior to rounding. If fewer than 3 delegates are allocated, add a delegate to the candidate that is closest to, but less than, a 0.5 remainder prior to rounding [Rule 3. (d)].
    • 28 (10 base at-large delegates plus 15 bonus delegates plus 3 RNC) statewide delegates are proportionally allocated to those Presidential contenders who receive 20% or more of the total statewide vote (as rounded by the Executive Committee). The allocation is in proportion to the total statewide vote NOT the total vote of those candidates receiving 20% or more of statewide vote. The remaining delegates are unbound. The rule says "Presidential candidates receiving more than 20% of the statewide vote ... will be allocated the same proportion, rounded by the Executive Committee ...." [Rule 4. (c)].
