presidential candidates.
(1)
(2)
(3)
The state executive committee of each political party shall, pursuant to its
party's rules, determine whether to distribute its party's authorized delegate
votes for presidential candidates at its party's national convention based on the
results of a party caucus, a presidential preference primary, or a combination of
the two (2) methods. Each state executive committee shall notify the State
Board of Elections of its decision not later than the December 31 preceding the
day for conducting a presidential preference primary as set by KRS 118.561.
If a state executive committee determines that its party's authorized delegate
votes for presidential candidates at its party's national convention shall be
distributed based on the results of a party caucus, a presidential preference
primary shall not be conducted for that political party, and the provisions of
KRS 118.561 to 118.651 shall not apply. The distribution of delegates among
the presidential candidates shall be determined by party rule.
If a state executive committee determines that its party's authorized delegate
votes for presidential candidates at its party's national convention shall be
distributed based on the results of both a party caucus and a presidential
preference primary, the formula for distribution of authorized delegate votes
based on the results of a party caucus shall be determined by party rule. The
distribution of delegates based on the results of a presidential preference
primary shall be in accordance with the provisions of KRS 118.641(1).
Regardless of the method by which the authorized delegate votes are
distributed, the casting of votes on the first ballot at each party's national
convention shall be in accordance with the provisions of KRS 118.641(2).
