Tuesday 14 March 2000: All 38 of Oklahoma's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's Oklahoma Presidential Primary.

  • "18 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 6 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district, notwithstanding that candidate's percentage of the total primary vote in the district, will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates. In addition, 20 at-large delegates (6 base at-large delegates plus 14 bonus delegates) are to be allocated to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide, notwithstanding that candidate's percentage of the total primary vote statewide. This winning candidate will be said to have received the 'final net primary vote': note, however, that it will be possible- by winning delegates at the 'winner-take-all' congressional district level- for a presidential contender other than the one so receiving the final net primary vote statewide to be allocated National Convention delegates in the Oklahoma Presidential Primary."

Oklahoma has 77 counties and 6 congressional districts: 72 counties are wholly within a given congressional district; 5 are divided among more than one congressional district.
