ELLISVILLE, MO (KTVI) - Saturday GOP township committees all over Missouri elected delegates for the national convention this summer.

The democratic process was in full effect in Ellisville as community members signed in to vote for their GOP delegates. This year residents are invested in who their delegates are and what their personal votes may be.

Even though trump won the primary in Missouri Cruz still has a chance to win presidential nomination from the state.

Here is how it works.

Trump must have 1,237 delegate votes to become the republican presidential nominee at the GOP convention in Cleveland this July.

Missouri will send 52 delegates to the convention.

Based on the march primary trump will get 37 of those delegates and Cruz will get 15 of them.

No matter who the delegate personally supports they have to vote for the candidate they are bound.

But if trump does not have the 1,237 delegates then he does not win the nomination and the delegates take a second vote.

During the second vote they are no long bound to a candidate and can vote for whoever they want.

Because the GOP race has been so close, many people think this could go to a second vote.
