national convention. On this first ballot, any seated alternate shall be bound to the same
presidential candidates allocation as the absent delegate being replaced. On all subsequent
ballots, the delegates and alternates are unbound.

will each choose to be part of a presidential candidate allocation, and be proportionally
allocated whether or not that candidate has withdrawn.
7. Delegates and alternates for the 11 remaining statewide presidential candidate allocations,
whether or not that candidate has withdrawn, will be elected at the state convention.
8. Candidates who earned delegate allocations by virtue of the caucus preference poll, but who
have withdrawn at the time of the state or any CD convention, shall still retain their delegate
allocations at said convention(s) in compliance with proportional binding rules. However, it shall
be noted at those convention(s) that if the candidate remains withdrawn at the time of the first
ballot at the 2016 convention, the delegates running for the withdrawn candidates allocation
will not be bound at the national convention.
9. If a delegate or alternates candidate has withdrawn at any time prior to the national
convention, that delegate or alternate will attend the convention unbound as long as the
candidate remains withdrawn. However, if that candidate returns to the race, that delegate or
alternate will be bound to that candidate for the first ballot.
