This article contains the results of the 2012 Republican presidential primaries and caucuses, in which four major candidates remain: Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum. The 2012 Republican primaries are the selection processes by which the Republican Party selects delegates to attend the 2012 Republican National Convention from August 27–30. The series of primaries, caucuses, and state conventions culminates in the national convention where the delegates vote on and select a candidate. A simple majority (1,144) of the total delegate votes (2,286) is required to become the party's nominee.

Since the start of the primaries and caucuses three major candidates have dropped out of the race; Michele Bachmann suspended her campaign following a poor performance in Iowa; Jon Huntsman dropped out after placing third in the New Hampshire primary; Rick Perry dropped out after Iowa and New Hampshire but prior to the South Carolina primary after polling poorly.

Overview of results

Major candidates

  • The delegate totals are a projection and have not been officially pledged yet. This applies to a delegate from a non-binding primary or caucus election, as in Iowa, Colorado, and Minnesota. [1] These are awarded officially at Congressional and State Conventions on a later date.
  • Unprojected delegates included in Total for each State. 1,783 pledged, 503 unprojected/unpledged.[2]
  • Winner-take-all states begin with the April 3, 2012 primaries; Florida's primary, on January 31, 2012 is a winner-take-all primary.
