Voting in the Republican Convention on May 8th Between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The Republican nominee for Governor will be selected by a ranked choice balloting process, meaning instead of casting one vote in each race, you vote a ballot ranking your choices from first to last.

Round 1: First choice ballots will be segregated into separate piles for each candidate. Each pile will then be counted twice, or until counts agree. If any candidate has one vote more than 50% of the total weighted vote, that candidate shall be the winner and no further vote counting shall take place.

Round 2: Ballots in the first choice pile of the candidate receiving the fewest weighted votes in Round 1 will be redistributed to the candidates who are the second choice of the first losing candidate. If any candidate has at least one vote in excess of 50% of the total weighted vote, that candidate shall be the winner and no further vote counting shall take place.

Subsequent Rounds: Ballots in the pile of the lowest vote getter from the previous round shall be redistributed according to the next highest preference for any remaining candidates. Upon counting and reporting of the incremental gain to the total votes for any remaining candidates, by unit, statewide totals will be calculated and posted. This process will continue until one candidate has at least one vote in excess of 50% of the total weighted vote, at which point that candidate shall be the winner and no further vote counting for that contest shall take place.
