TheGreenPapers.com 2016 Democratic and Republican National Convention Delegate Allocation
by Tony Roza

Happy Presidents' Day! In their honor, we post our first draft of the 2016 delegate allocations for the 2016 Presidential Nominating Process. The delegate numbers assume the policies of 2012 will apply in 2016. The counts will be updated as the parties update their rules.

Democratic pledged delegate counts are determined by each jurisdiction's Presidential vote in 2004, 2008, and 2012 along with the jurisdiction's 2016 electoral vote allocation. Democratic unpledged delegate counts are determined by the number of DNC Members, Democratic Governors, Democratic U.S. House members, and Democratic U.S. Senators serving at the time of the convention.

Democratic Allocation Summary
Democratic Detailed Delegate Allocation (the math behind the allocation)

Republican delegate counts are based on the number of U.S. House members from each state in 2016; the electoral vote from the 2012 Presidential election; and the number of Republicans elected to the State Legislatures, Governors chairs, U.S. House seats, and U.S. Senate seats through 31 December 2015. The number of pledged and unpledged delegates are determined by each jurisdiction's rules.
