Section 6840 Of Article 7. Certification Of National Convention Delegates Elected And Postelection Proceedings From California Elections Code >> Division 6. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 7.

. The number of delegates to be certified as elected from each
group of delegate candidates shall be the whole number nearest the
product obtained by multiplying the total number of delegates to be
elected by the ratio which that group's vote bears to the total of
votes cast for all those groups of delegates, with the following to
apply in order to adjust the total number of delegates certified to
the total number to which the state is entitled:
(a) If this procedure would result in a total number of delegates
being elected greater than the number to which the state is entitled,
the calculation outlined above shall be repeated using a total vote
cast for all groups of delegates that is sufficiently larger than the
actual total vote so as to give a total number of delegates elected
equal to the number to which the state is entitled.
(b) If this procedure would result in a total number of delegates
being elected smaller than the number to which the state is entitled,
the calculation outlined above shall be repeated using a total vote
cast for all groups of delegates that is sufficiently smaller than
the actual total vote so as to give a total number of delegates
elected equal to the number to which the state is entitled.
(c) If a tie renders unworkable the procedure for adjusting to the
proper delegate total outlined in subdivisions (a) and (b), those
delegate candidates so tied shall be certified as elected with a
fractional vote proportional to their group's total vote so that the
total number of delegates certified, including the fractional-vote
delegates, equals the number to which the state is entitled.
