The RNC requires states to complete their delegate allocation process by 31 May 2024 however, the primary is 4 June. "Accordingly, we must find another solution for selecting our delegates...."-- GOP State Chairman Bob Hugin.

• The delegates would be selected at the State Convention in Atlantic City on the weekend of either 8 March (preferred) or 5 April. Either the state committee members or the state convention delegates would be allowed to vote.
