Pennsylvania allocates its 75 as follows:
- 57 congressional district delegates are directly elected by primary voters (3 per congressional district: (19 × 3 = 57).
- 5 (one third of the 15 at-large delegates) are allocated to the 5 congressional districts that have best supported the party per Rule 8.2. These delegates are directly elected by primary voters.
- 10 (two thirds of the 15 at-large delegates) are selected by members of the Republican State Committee of Pennsylvania per Rule 8.3.
- 3 party leader delegates (the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Pennsylvania's Republican Party) will attend the convention by virtue of their position.
All 75 of the Commonwealth's district delegates will go to the Republican National Convention officially 'Unpledged'.
Tuesday 27 April 2004: PENNSYLVANIA Presidential Primary
62 of the Commonwealth's 75 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be directly elected in a LOOPHOLE type primary, in which delegates are elected separately from a presidential preference "beauty contest". Each of Pennsylvania's congressional districts are assigned 3 base delegates each; in addition, the 5 "highest-ranked" (in terms of how well they have supported GOP candidates over the last four years) of the 19 congressional districts will get 1 extra delegate.
