California Republicans Change Delegate Rules Ahead of the 2024 Primary
In a presidential year, California’s 2024 primary is in March instead of June, and the state is the biggest prize for the Republican nomination.
Under the old rules, Republican presidential candidates could win three delegates in each congressional district in California, which allowed them to target specific areas without running an expensive statewide campaign. In previous primaries, multiple candidates could walk away with at least some delegates under their belts.
Under the new rules, if any candidate can secure more than 50% of the votes statewide, they will get all 169 delegates. If no one wins a majority, the delegates will be awarded proportionately based on each candidate’s share of the statewide vote.
