States are assigned delegates based on a formula that takes into account their population size and the number of electoral votes they have. The Democratic Party uses a proportional allocation system, where delegates are distributed according to the share of the vote each candidate receives. The Republican Party, on the other hand, uses a combination of proportional allocation and winner-takes-all methods, depending on the state.
