Washington has 40 delegates.
Saturday 9 February 2008: Precinct Caucuses. Republican Party Caucuses meet in each precinct. Participants are required to sign a form stating they are Republicans (as voters do not have to declare political party membership to vote in the state's regular primaries or general elections). Each Precinct Caucus chooses the precinct's delegates to the County Convention. The County Conventions will, in turn, choose delegates to the State Convention. There is no formal system applied in the Precinct Caucuses to relate the presidential preference of the Caucus participants to the choice of the precinct's delegates. The participants at each Precinct Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choice and, if so, how it is to be applied.The Caucuses initiate the process of electing 18 (49% of 37) of the National Convention delegates. These delegates will attend the Republican National Convention officially "Unpledged". The following are the near-final results of Washington's Republican Precinct Caucuses. With 99.99% of precincts reporting, Sen. McCain has 25.3% of the delegates, Gov. Huckabee 23.2%, Congressman Paul 21.5%, Gov. Romney 15.5%, Uncommitted 13.5%, Other 1.1%.
