  • 24 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 8 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates. [Republican Party of Wisconsin Constitution Article X Section 3.]
  • 16 at-large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 3 bonus delegates plus 3 party leaders) are to be allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide. [Republican Party of Wisconsin Constitution Article X Section 4.]

The 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Wisconsin's Republican Party, will attend the convention by virtue of their position allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide.
