Included in Nationwide vote.

All 4 of the Virgin Islands delegates to the National Convention delegates are allocated in today's Presidential caucus. A ranked-choice voting scheme is used-- this will elevate one of the candidates to 50% and trigger the winner take all clause. The 1 at-large delegate is elected by the Delegate Selection Committee and 3 party leaders are elected at the Presidential caucus.

• If a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the candidate is allocated all 4 delegates.
• Otherwise, multiply the total number of delegates (4) by the total number of votes for each candidate and divide by the total number of votes for all candidates. Round any fraction to the nearest whole number. [The 2024 Virgin Islands Delegate Selection Plan - Rule 3.]
  • If the rounding allocates too few delegates, add a delegate to the candidate closest to the rounding threshold.
  • If the rounding allocates too many delegates, remove a delegate from the candidate furthest from the rounding threshold.

Territorial Caucus

The delegates are bound for the first round of voting at the National Convention. The delegates are automatically released if the Presidential candidate withdraws or suspends their candidacy. [The 2024 Virgin Islands Delegate Selection Plan - Rule 3.]

RULES, POLICES, AND PRINCIPLES OF REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS, Amended June 1, 2002, Article XIII Sec.1. states "The method of selecting delegates to the Republican National Convention shall be determined by the Territorial Committee."
