Candidate Primary and Caucus Ballot Access
2008 Presidential Primaries, Caucuses, and Conventions
Sorted by Candidate Name

TheGreenPapers.com will be tracking delegate counts as both "Soft" (here assuming that relevant delegations will remain sanctioned into the National Convention [that is: with half the originally allocated delegates to be seated at the Republican National Convention]) and as "Alternative" (here assuming that the full delegation of an affected jurisdiction- as originally allocated before being sanctioned- is eventually to be seated [that is, at some point before the Convention, sanctions will be lifted]) from now until the Party's National Convention convenes or until no delegation is any longer sanctioned, if this should occur prior to the Convention.

On 8 November 2007, the Republican National Committee voted 121 to 9 to sanction 5 states for beginning their Presidential Nominating Process prior to 5 February 2008 in violation of Party Rule 16. Florida, New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina, and Wyoming will each lose half of their delegates to the National Convention.

This page is an aggregate of candidates that are listed on our state-by-state pages. We include candidates appearing on primary ballots and caucus summaries.

* The "Vote" column is the total primary and caucus vote as recorded in each jurisdiction and includes Popular Vote, Percent Vote, State Delegates, Percentage Vote.

We usually post primary candidates 30-60 days before the primary, that is, when the election board certifies the ballot. However, caucus candidates are typically posted when the party publishes the results after said event.

Considering the above, this list is a work in progress and will contain partial information until the conclusion of the primary, caucus, and convention season.

The write-in category includes write-in candidates and candidates referred to as "others", "scattering", and "miscellaneous" by the elections authorities.

The (available) category is a count of delegates that have not been allocated to any candidate.
