Tuesday 8 June 2004: Advisory Presidential Primary. Today's primary has no affect on the allocation of National Convention delegates.

Thursday 10 June - Saturday 12 June 2004: The Montana State Republican Convention officially convenes. The State Convention chooses 25 delegates to the Republican National Convention.

There is no formal system of allocating these 25 National Convention delegates to the presidential contenders. The delegates will attend the convention not bound to any candidate.

In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Montana's Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.
