At a meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Tennessee Republican Party, the final slate of delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention was approved by a vote of 40-25.

Based on the results of the March 1 presidential preference primary, the delegates were allocated as follows:

Donald Trump - 33 delegates

Under Tennessee state law, delegates are bound to their respective candidate for two rounds of balloting at the Republican National Convention this summer on Cleveland, Ohio.

TNGOP Chairman Ryan Haynes stated, "I appreciate the campaigns working with us to create this slate and I am especially grateful for the hard work of our State Executive Committee members to approve it."
