Hawaii GOP bylaws in 2016 required presidential candidates to form a Hawaii Leadership Committee that was responsible for selecting Hawaii Republican Party members to fill any national delegates won by the candidate in the caucus contests. Delegates from Hawaii were to remain bound to their candidate through the first round of voting at the convention, unless their candidate "withdrew" prior to the convention.
