17 May 2023: We have asked the RPK for clarification regarding whether the allocation is proportional or winner take all.
 
"The candidate, as defined in Rule 11.04, receiving the highest number of votes statewide, shall be awarded all of the authorized delegate vote for the Kentucky Republican Party at the Republican National Convention. This allocation of delegate votes shall bind the authorized delegates of the Kentucky Republican Party on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention" [Republican Party of Kentucky Rules 11.09.(a)].

• 46 delegates to the National Convention are to be allocated proportionally among those candidates receiving 15% or more of the statewide Primary vote [Kentucky Revised Statutes 118.641(1)(a)].
• The proportional delegate allocation shall be rounded to the nearest whole delegate. In the event that a delegate is unallocated due to mathematical rounding, the unallocated delegate vote shall be cast in favor of the candidate closest to the rounding threshold. In the event that delegates are over-allocated due to mathematical rounding, the over-allocated delegate shall be removed from the candidate furthest from the rounding threshold. [Official Rules of the Republican Party of Kentucky 9.03(a)]
