Primary (preliminary)
Included in Nationwide vote.

All 59 of Georgia's delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders in today's Presidential Primary. There are 2 possible formulas used to allocate Georgia delegates-- if the Presidential Primary is prior to 15 March use the math described in Rules of the Georgia Republican Party 7.3(C), as it is in 2024; if the Primary is on or after 15 March, as it is in 2020, use 7.3(B).

• 42 district delegates bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 14 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates.
• If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (more than 50%), that candidate is allocated all 3 of the district's delegates.
• If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, the candidate with the most votes (plurality) receives 2 delegates and the candidate receiving the next highest number of votes receives 1 delegate. [Rules of the Georgia Republican Party. 7.3(C)(3)]
• 17 statewide delegates (10 base at-large, 4 bonus, plus 3 RNC delegates) are bound to presidential contenders according to the statewide vote. A mandatory 20% threshold is required for a presidential contender to receive National Convention delegates. No State at large Delegate shall be allocated to any candidate who receives 20% or less of the vote in the Primary. [Rules of the Georgia Republican Party. 7.3(C)(1)]
• For each candidate receiving the threshold or more of the vote, delegates = [the number of votes received by that candidate] × [14 statewide delegates] ÷ [the statewide vote for those candidates receiving the threshold or more]. Each candidate receives the whole number of delegates (that is, round down to the whole number). If delegates remain, award the slots to the candidate(s) (who received the threshold or more) proportionally. [Rules of the Georgia Republican Party. 7.3(B)(4)]
• The 3 RNC party leader delegates, the National Committeeman, National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Georgia's Republican Party are allocated with the At-Large delegates. They are, however, bound to the candidate receiving the most votes statewide. [Rules of the Georgia Republican Party. 7.3(C)(4)]
