Delegates from Mississippi to the 2016 Republican National Convention were elected at district caucuses and the state convention in May 2016. Mississippi GOP bylaws required candidates for delegate positions to submit a written declaration stating "which candidate that person will be bound to support on the floor of the Republican National Convention." Delegates from Mississippi were bound to the candidate to whom they were allocated unless released by their candidate via public statement or in writing.

## Delegate allocation[edit]

See also: 2016 presidential nominations: calendar and delegate rules

Mississippi had 40 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 12 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's four congressional districts). Mississippi's district-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis. The first place finisher in a district won two of that district's delegates while the second place finisher received one.[1][2]

Of the remaining 28 delegates, 25 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 15 percent of the statewide primary vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[1][2]
