The Alabama Republican Party State Executive Committee passed its Presidential Preference Primary Resolution – which details how Alabama’s presidential delegates will be allocated for the 2024 Republican Presidential Primary – at its meeting in Montgomery over the weekend.
Alabama will have 50 delegates to the Republican National Convention: ALGOP’s three members of the Republican National Committee (Chairman, National Committeewoman, National Committeeman); 26 statewide at-large delegates; and 21 delegates allocated by congressional district. The 2024 Presidential Preference Primary Resolution keeps the same delegate allotments as previous cycles. Details include the following:
- A candidate must receive a minimum of 20% of the vote on either the statewide or congressional district level to be awarded any delegates.
- The 26 statewide at-large Republican delegates will be awarded to the first place candidate if that candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the state’s Super Tuesday primary.
- There will be three delegates from each of the state’s seven congressional districts, for a total of 21 delegates.
- The congressional district delegates will also be awarded to the first place candidate that receives over 50% of the vote in each of the congressional districts.
- If no candidate receives over 50% at either the statewide or the congressional district level, the delegates will be awarded proportionally based on primary election results.
The Committee also passed the Primary Resolution, which outlines the primary process for all other offices on the 2024 ballot.
Other items passed at the Saturday meeting include:
- A ban on campaign donations from the National Education Association (NEA) and its affiliates – including the Alabama Education Association (AEA) – for all Republican school board and superintendent candidates.
- A resolution condemning President Joe Biden for circumventing the Hyde Amendment and using taxpayer money to fund abortion related expenses, and supporting Senator Tommy Tuberville for standing up to the Biden Administration over its flawed policy.
