Delegate Tracker

In order to become the Republican party's 2012 presidential nominee, hopefuls need to win the support of a majority of the 2,286 delegates to the GOP National Convention. The total number of delegates includes those who are pledged and unpledged. Candidates win the support of pledged delegates based on primaries and caucuses. States can have district-level delegates, at-large delegates or RNC delegates. Each state determines how each of type of delegate is allocated within the state. In cases where states use local caucuses or primaries to elect delegates to a state or congressional district convention, the AP projects how many delegates each candidate will be awarded. The AP interviews unpledged delegates to learn their preferences, which are also reflected in the delegate totals.
