The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 9
May Primary. This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local
primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter
turnout.
Delegates are directly elected in the West Virginia Republican
Primary. Both the delegate's name and Presidential Preference are
marked on the ballot. Here are the unofficial congressional district
and at-large results:
| District | Available | Bush | McCain |
|---|
| CD 1 | 3 | 3 | |
|---|
| CD 2 | 3 | 3 | |
|---|
| CD 3 | 3 | 3 | |
|---|
| At-Large | 9 | 9 | |
|---|
| Total | 18 | 18 | |

Tuesday 9 May 2000: all of West Virginia's 18 delegates to the
Republican National Convention will be directly elected in the West
Virginia Presidential Primary, in which delegates are directly elected
and listed on the ballot as individuals. This is a "Loophole" type
primary in which there is also a presidential preference vote atop the
ballot: a so-called "beauty contest", the results of which have no
effect on the allocation of National Convention delegates.
- "Each of the State's 3 congressional districts is assigned 3
National Convention delegates: a total of 9 district delegates to be
directly elected by the voters and individually listed on the ballot
with their presidential preferences indicated. In addition, 9 at-large
delegates are to be elected directly and individually listed on the
ballot with their presidential preferences indicated. Thus, each voter
chooses 12 National Convention delegates (the 3 from his or her
district plus the 9 at-large delegates)."
West Virginia has 55 counties and 3 congressional districts: all 55 counties are wholly within a given congressional district and no county is divided among more than one congressional district.
- CD 1: Barbour, Brooke, Doddridge, Grant, Hancock, Harrison, Marion, Marshall, Mineral, Monongalia, Ohio, Pleasants, Preston, Ritchie, Taylor, Tucker, Tyler, Wetzel and Wood.
- CD 2: Berkeley, Braxton, Calhoun, Clay, Gilmer, Hampshire, Hardy, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Mason, Morgan, Nicholas, Pendleton, Putnam, Randolph, Roane, Upshur and Wirt.
- CD 3: Boone, Cabell, Fayette, Greenbrier, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Monroe, Pocahontas, Raleigh, Summers, Wayne, Webster and Wyoming.
