Allocating state's delegates

Here's how the Washington state Republicans and Democrats will allocate delegates from Tuesday's primary and the Feb. 9 caucuses:

GOP: 40 delegates

Republicans are using both the caucuses and the primary to select and allocate delegates.

• 18 delegates — two from each of the state's nine congressional districts — will be allocated through the party's caucus and convention process, which began with the Feb. 9 precinct caucuses.

• 19 delegates will be allocated according to primary results. Ten of those will be at-large delegates divvied up proportionally to candidates who finish with at least 20 percent of the statewide vote. The other nine will be allocated to the winner in each of the state's nine congressional districts.

• The last three are "automatic delegates" — state party chairman and two Republican National Committee members — who are selected by virtue of their positions.

Democrats: 97 delegates

The Democrats are ignoring the results of the primary.

• 78 delegates will be allocated through the party's caucuses and convention process. This total includes 51 delegates divvied up by congressional district, 17 at-large delegates and 10 local party leaders and elected officials.

• 17 "superdelegates" include party leaders, all Democratic members of Congress and the governor. They can support any candidate, regardless of caucus or primary results

• 2 "unpledged add-on delegates" are nominated by the party chairman at the state convention.
