2016
Roll call vote
In the roll call vote that took place at the convention on July 19, 2016, Alaska reported 11 votes for Donald Trump, 12 for Cruz, and five for Marco Rubio—the same as Alaska’s original allocation as dictated by the results of its March 1 caucuses. But the convention secretary recorded 28 votes for Trump. Donley attempted to challenge the recording of Alaska's votes but was overridden. Ballotpedia spoke with Donley in Cleveland. He said “We felt strongly we had to have our vote.” Donley stressed that everyone in the delegation agreed that their votes should be divided among Cruz, Trump, and Rubio as they were allocated in the caucuses and at the state party convention. Donley stated that at the state convention this year, the party amended its state party rule that allocated convention delegates in order to permit the Alaska delegates to cast their votes for the candidates who captured votes in the caucuses. But confusion existed over whether the actions of the Alaska state party convention this year had any bearings on the allocation plan the state party submitted to the Republican National Committee for its approval last year. Donley, an attorney who served 16 years in the Alaska State Legislature, added that the state party consulted the RNC legal office back in the spring—after receiving a letter from the Rubio campaign that said he wanted to retain his Alaska delegates—about what they should do. Donley said that RNC officials said they should follow Rubio’s wishes. “They changed their opinion without telling us,” said Donley. “They totally bushwhacked us.” He added, “The RNC needs to clean up its act.” A Cruz delegate, Donley said he had discussed with his wife the possibility of not making the long and expensive trip to Cleveland and letting an alternate delegate take his place. This trip is “the longest I’ve been away from my children,” he noted. “My wife said, ‘It’s your duty to vote for the candidate Alaskans voted for.’” Donley said, “We should just get rid of [Alaska’s reapportionment rule].”
Delegate rules
Delegates from Alaska to the Republican National Convention were elected at the Alaska GOP state convention in April 2016. The Alaska Republican Party rules for 2016 required delegates to vote at the convention for the candidate to whom they pledged their support at the time of their election at the state convention. Delegates could vote for a different candidate than the one to whom they pledged their support only if, after the second round of voting, that candidate had received the lowest number of votes. If a candidate "dropped out" of the race prior to the national convention, his or her delegates were reapportioned among the remaining candidates.

Delegate allocation
Alaska had 28 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, three were district-level delegates (three for the state's single congressional district). District-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 13 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to win a share of Alaska's district delegates.[2][3]
Of the remaining 25 delegates, 22 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 13 percent of the statewide vote in order to be eligible to win a share of Alaska's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as pledged delegates to the Republican National Convention.[2][3]
