Delegate allocation
Vermont had 16 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, three were district-level delegates (all for the state's single congressional district). District-level delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to receive any district delegates. If a candidate received more than 50 percent of the statewide vote, he or she received all of the state's district delegates.[6][7]
Of the remaining 13 delegates, 10 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's at-large delegates. If a candidate won more than 50 percent of the statewide vote, he or she received all 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.[6][7]

- ↑ To build our list of the state and territorial delegations to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ballotpedia relied primarily upon official lists provided by state and territorial Republican parties, email exchanges and phone interviews with state party officials, official lists provided by state governments, and, in some cases, unofficial lists compiled by local media outlets. When possible, we included what type of delegate the delegate is (at-large, district-level, or RNC) and which candidate they were bound by state and national party bylaws to support at the convention. For most delegations, Ballotpedia was able to track down all of this information. For delegations where we were not able to track down this information or were only able to track down partial lists, we included this note.
