Delegates to the National Presidential Nominating Convention
Presidential nominating delegates are elected at a convention before the National Presidential Nominating Convention. They are typically bound to a voting strategy decided at the convention where the first round is usually determined using a Single Transferable Vote with a number of seats equal to some number equal to or less than the total number of delegates, to determine qualification for final allocation by the Method of Equal Proportions, for the first round, with later rounds using the IRV/RCV single-seat winner after elimination, all based on ranked ballots for president cast by presidential nominating election participants.
