April 2016 (presumably): Republican Party Ward/Precinct Caucuses meet to choose the precinct's delegates to the County Convention. [Uniform State Rules of the Republican Party of New Mexico, Article 4-2-1(A)]

  • 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 to the County Convention. 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.
 

Saturday 16 April - Saturday 30 April 2016 (presumably): County Conventions meet to elect delegates to the State Convention. [Article 3-2-1(A)].

  • There is no formal system applied in the County Conventions to relate the presidential preference of the Convention participants to the choice of the Convention's delegates to the State Convention. The participants at each County Convention alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choice and, if so, how it is to be applied.
 

Saturday 21 May 2016 (presumably): The New Mexico State Republican Convention convenes. The State Convention elects 24 delegates from New Mexico to the Republican National Convention according to the results of the 7 June primary. Voting for delegates is by secret ballot. [Rules Article 2-2-1(A)(2) and 2-2-10(D)(4)]

  • The State Convention delegates gather by Congressional Districts to elect 9 National Convention District delegates, 3 from each of New Mexico's 3 Congressional Districts.
  • The State Convention meets as a whole to elect the 12 National Convention At-Large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 2 bonus delegates).
  • In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the New Mexico's Republican Party, will attend the National Convention as bound delegates by virtue of their position.
 

This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.

Tuesday 7 June 2016 (presumably): New Mexico Primary. Hours 7:00a-7:00p MDT (1300-0100 UTC). Delegate Selection: Proportional Primary. Voter Eligibility: Closed Primary.

Tuesday 7 June 2016 (presumably): All 24 of New Mexico's delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's New Mexico Presidential Primary.

  • 24 National Convention delegates are to be bound proportionally to presidential contenders receiving 15% or more of the primary vote statewide.
  • For those candidates (who received 15% or more of the statewide vote) multiply the total number of delegates (24) by the candidate's vote and divide by the total number of votes (for those candidates who received 15% or more of the statewide vote). Round to the nearest whole number. In the event a delegate is unallocated due to rounding, the unallocated delegate goes to the candidate closest to the rounding threshold. If too many delegates are allocated, the over allocated delegates are removed from the candidate furthest from the rounding threshold. [New Mexico Statutes §1-15A-9(c)(1); Uniform State Rules of the Republican Party of New Mexico 2-2-10. E. 1. & 2.]

[New Mexico Statutes §1-15A-9(d)]
