This article shows the results of the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries. The Republican Party presidential primary is a process of choosing delegates, or people that represent someone, to go to the 2016 Republican National Convention. People in each state will vote on who they think will be good for the presidency, and each candidate gets a certain amount of delegates based on the number of votes they receive.
The primaries began on 1 February 2016 in Iowa.[1] On May 4 2016, Donald Trump became the only candidate left in the race.[2][3] He became the official Republican nominee on July 19, 2016.[4] Trump would later win the presidency on November 8.[5]
