The Popular Vote above is based on official returns from the 23 May Primary. This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.

6 July 2000: The Arkansas Republicans will meet this Saturday, July 8, 2000, to choose the remaining National Convention delegates. Prior to the primary only one person filed as a Keyes delegate however the primary provided Keyes with 5 pledged delegate positions. The remaining 4 Keyes delegate positions will be selected from those who filed as as Bush delegates. These 4 delegates will go to the convention pledged to Keyes.

23 May 2000: Delegate estimate: Keyes receives 5 (20% * 24 = 4.8) and Bush receives 19 (80% * 24 = 19.2) of the 24 delegates. However, only 1 person filed as a Keyes delegate. The Arkansas Republican party will resolve this during the 19 June District Conventions and 24 June State Convention.


Tuesday 23 May 2000: all 24 of Arkansas' delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's Arkansas Presidential Primary.

  • "24 delegates to the National Convention are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary vote statewide. A 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at the statewide level."

Monday 19 June 2000: County Conventions.

Saturday 24 June 2000: State Convention.
