Tuesday 11 May 2004: 27 of West Virginia's 30 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be directly elected in the West Virginia Presidential Primary. Delegates are directly elected and listed on the ballot as individuals. This is a "Loophole" type primary in which there is also a presidential preference vote atop the ballot: a so-called "beauty contest", the results of which have no effect on the allocation of National Convention delegates.

  • 9 district delegates (3 delegates from each of the state's 3 Congressional Districts) are to be elected directly and are individually listed on the ballot with their presidential preferences indicated.
  • 18 at-large delegates are to be elected directly and are individually listed on the ballot with their presidential preferences indicated.

Thus, each voter chooses 21 National Convention delegates (the 3 from his or her district plus the 18 at-large delegates).

In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the West Virginia's Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.


Congressional Districts  

West Virginia has 55 counties and 3 congressional districts: all 55 counties are wholly within a given congressional district and no county is divided among more than one congressional district.

  • CD 1: Barbour, Brooke, Doddridge, Gilmer, Grant, Hancock, Harrison, Marion, Marshall, Mineral, Monongalia, Ohio, Pleasants, Preston, Ritchie, Taylor, Tucker, Tyler, Wetzel and Wood.
  • CD 2: Berkeley, Braxton, Calhoun, Clay, Hampshire, Hardy, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Mason, Morgan, Pendleton, Putnam, Randolph, Roane, Upshur and Wirt.
  • CD 3: Boone, Cabell, Fayette, Greenbrier, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Raleigh, Summers, Wayne, Webster and Wyoming.
