The 2012 Republican presidential primaries are the selection processes in which voters of the Republican Party will choose their nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 presidential election. There will be 2,286 delegates chosen, and a candidate MUST accumulate 1,144 delegate votes at the Republican National Convention to WIN the nomination. The primaries and caucuses can be binding or nonbinding in allocating delegates to the repective state delegations to the National convention. But the actual election of the delegates are many times at a later date. Delegates are elected in different ways that vary from state to state. They can be elected at local conventions, selected from slates submitted by the candidates, Selected at committee meetings or elected directly at the caucuses and primaries. Until the delegates are actually elected the delegate numbers are by nature projections, but it is only in the nonbinding caucus states where they are not allocated at the primary or caucus date.
