After the re-caucusing process, the final numbers are tallied. The number of people in each viable group will factor into how many delegates each candidate wins from that precinct. Delegates are awarded proportionately – and the number of delegates a candidate has statewide will be reported as "state delegate equivalents." The candidate with the most "state delegate equivalents" will be considered the winner of the caucuses. Here, vote count is not indicative of actual votes cast, but of State Delegate Equivalents-- the estimated number of state convention delegates allotted to each candidate based on the caucus outcome.

In the second and final round, the supporters of candidates who did not meet the first round's 15 percent threshold must choose a viable candidate to support.

In the first round, each candidate must receive at least 15 percent of votes to be considered viable for the second (and final) round. This means the number of people backing a candidate has to be at least 15 percent of the total number of people in the room at the local caucus.
