California selects delegates for the presidential primary through a proportional representation system. Voters in the primary election cast their ballots for candidates, and delegates are awarded based on the percentage of votes each candidate receives above a certain threshold. This process applies to both Democratic and Republican primaries, though the specific rules and thresholds may vary between the parties. Additionally, California has a mix of pledged and unpledged delegates, with some delegates bound to vote for the candidate they represent based on primary results.
