The California Republican primary, 2008 was held on February 5 and had a total of 173 delegates at stake: three per congressional district and fourteen "bonus" delegates. The winner in each of the 53 congressional districts was awarded all of that district's delegates. The winner of the state was awarded 11 of the bonus delegates, while the remaining 3 unpledged delegates are state party leaders.[1][2] Voting in the California Republican Primary was restricted to registered Republican voters.[3]
Polls in the run-up to the election showed Mitt Romney and John McCain neck and neck. CNN projected McCain as the winner on overall vote share. McCain won the popular vote and all but five Congressional districts (21st, 42nd, 48th, 49th, and 52nd), which were won by Romney.[4]
