Delegates to the convention: 2,470*
Delegates needed to win the nomination (50%+1): 1,236*
*Some of the delegate totals may fluctuate, because (among other things) the number of bonus delegates are not finalized yet.
Early states:
Iowa Caucuses (30 delegates): February 1, 2016 — Delegates awarded proportionally, rounded to the nearest whole number.

March 1 will be the biggest day:
SuperDuper Tuesday: March 1, 2016 (Delegates/Bound delegates) 565 bound delegates
Also known as the ‘SEC Primary,’ more delegates are bound on this day than any other in the primary race, all by some form of proportional allocation.** Many of the states are deeply conservative, and are being eyed by candidates appealing to such voters as an opportunity to build momentum. But there will be plenty of opportunities for more moderate candidates to come away with delegates, and maybe some victories too.

Spring Break
After a month of intense voting, the calendar slows with just 134 delegates bound over the course of a month. This could sap candidates’ momentum, either elongating a close race for the nomination or forcing underperforming and underfunded candidates from the race before the home stretch.

If no candidate has the required number of delegates on the first ballot, balloting will continue until a nominee emerges with a majority of delegates. Most delegates are freed from their bindings after the first ballot or if released by the candidate. Others are held for longer.
