13 June 2000: Reports indicate that the 25 delegates selected during the 6 June State convention support Bush. These delegates are not officially bound to any candidate. They are reported under "Soft Unpledged" for Bush and are "Hard" counted as "Uncommitted".


The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 2 May Primary. This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.

Here's how we estimate the delegate count:

  • The candidate with the greatest popular vote in each of the 10 congressional districts receives that district's 3 delegates.

The Congressional District vote is not yet available. Bush has won every county so he is virtually assured to win all 30 congressional district delegates.


Tuesday 2 May 2000: 30 of Indiana's 55 delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Indiana Presidential Primary.

  • "30 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 10 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district, notwithstanding that candidate's percentage of the total primary vote in the district, will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates."

Tuesday, 6 June 2000: The remaining 25 delegates (6 base at-large delegates plus 19 bonus delegates) are chosen by the Indiana State Republican Convention. These 25 delegates are not required to reflect, in any way, the results of the primary voting; it has been determined that these delegates will go to the Republican National Convention officially 'Unpledged'"


Indiana has 92 counties and 10 congressional districts: 79 counties are wholly within a given congressional district; 13 counties are divided among more than one congressional district.
