Only Voters registered as Republican are eligible to participate.

Saturday 2 March 2024: Idaho Presidential Preference Caucus. Delegate Binding: Winner-Take-Most Caucus/Convention. Voter Eligibility: Closed Caucus/Convention.

Presidential Preference Caucus (preliminary)
Included in Nationwide vote.

All 32 of Idaho's National Convention delegates are pledged to Presidential contenders based on the vote in today's Presidential Preference Caucus [Idaho Republican Party State Rules. Idaho Rules for Selection of Delegates to the National Convention and State Convention. Article V. Sections 1, 15(a).]

• If one candidate receives more than 50% (another section says 51%) of the statewide vote, that candidate receives all the National Convention Delegates.
• Otherwise, the National Convention delegates are allocated proportionally to those candidates receiving 15% or more of the statewide vote rounded to the nearest whole number. Any remainder goes to the winning candidate.
• The formula does not take into account the case where rounding results in too many delegates being allocated or the situation where no candidate receives 15% (do the delegates go uncommitted?).

Presidential Preference Caucus (preliminary)

Sunday 3 March - Wednesday 15 May 2024 (presumably): The Regional Nominating Committee convenes (date not set).

Each Presidential candidate prepares a list of proposed National Convention delegates. 80% (29 × 0.8 = 23) of the delegates are selected from the list provided by the candidate and 20% (29 × 0.2 = 6) by the Regional Nominating Committee. The 3 RNC Delegates (National Committee Man, National Committee Woman, and Chair of the Party) will also go to the convention. In either case, National Convention delegates are apportioned according to the results of the Presidential Caucus.

... Delegates ... shall be obliged on the first ballot taken at the Republican National Convention to vote for the candidate who nominated them, provided any Delegates selected as representing the "uncommitted" choice shall be free to cast their vote for any candidate whose name has been placed in nomination before the Republican National Convention. In the event of death or withdrawal ... or release of Delegates by a candidate prior to the first ballot ... Delegates committed to such a candidate ... become uncommitted [Rule Article VI Sections 2-4].

A decision concerning the alternative Presidential Preference Convention to the cancelled state primary was made at the Summer Meeting (and documents) on 23-24 June 2023.

1. Approved at the 23-24 June Summer Meeting-- Rule 2023-11. Clinton Daniel Caucus Proposal for a 2 March 2024 caucus: If one candidate wins more than 50% of the statewide vote, that candidate receives all the National Convention Delegates. Otherwise, the National Conventions delegates are allocated proportionally to those candidates receiving 15% or more of the statewide vote rounded to the nearest whole number. Any remainder goes to the winning candidate. The formula does not take into account the case where rounding results in too many delegates being allocated.
2. Rule 2023-12. Bjorn Handeen Caucus Proposal. After 1 January but before 15 February registered Republicans in each county will select delegates to the Republican Presidential Preference Convention. A single round of voting for Presidential candidates is held a the Convention.
   1. 20% of the state's National Convention delegates are selected by the Nominating Committee of the Idaho State Republican Convention and will attend the National Convention as unpledged delegates.
   2. The remaining 80% National Conventions delegates are allocated proportionally to those candidates receiving 20% or more of the statewide vote. However, If no candidate receives 20% of the vote, the remaining 80% of the National Convention delegates are apportioned proportionally.
   The formula does not take rounding into account. On the 1st ballot at the Republican National Convention, the delegates must vote as pledged. If a candidate dies, withdraws, or releases delegates prior to the 1st ballot at the Republican National Convention, the delegates become uncommitted.
3. If the Idaho Legislature chooses before 1 October 2023 to reinstate the March Presidential Primary, then the Idaho Republican Party rules governing that process revert to the rules as revised in January of 2023.
