Delegates are selected by gender from the highest vote getters [Delegate Selection Plan, Part Three, Section B. 9(b)]. If a Presidential candidate is entitled to more district delegates than there were candidates on the ballot, the State Committee will fill the positions at a post-Primary caucus held before the state Convention [Delegate Selection Plan, Part Three, Section B. 10].
