(53,544 posts)Not knowing which Congressional District you are in I can't be more specific. And the fact your state does it differently.
In our state, people run to be state convention delegates at the same time the primary is run. So many delegates are allotted to congressional district and further allotted by county. We don't run as delegates supporting one candidate or the other at that time. There is no gender splitting at this level.
The winners go to the state convention and there are district caucuses that vote on the national delegates based on the primary results. Our district selects 5 delegates, 2 males and 3 females. If one candidate receives 60% of the votes and the other 40% then candidate A will have 1 male and 2 females while candidate B has 1 male and 1 female. Only those that have filed and declared the candidate they support will run as a national delegate.
All of the state convention delegates in a district vote for national delegates that will represent that district. State convention delegates have to pick the ballot to vote for national delegates for candidate A or B. They can't do both. The people running as national delegates that declared for candidate A will all be on one ballot. In the scenario above they can only vote up to 3 delegates. And it can't be more than 1 male or 2 females. While the ballot for candidate B they can elect up to two delegates, one of each gender.
Overall for our state for district delegates we have 28 males and 28 female delegates.
