Non-binding delegates are individuals selected during a political primary or caucus who are pledged to support a particular candidate but are not legally obligated to do so at the national convention. This means they can switch their support to another candidate if they choose, often reflecting changes in voter sentiment or preferences. Non-binding delegates are often used in states where the primary results are more about gauging support than committing delegates to a candidate. Their role can influence the dynamics of a primary race, as they may sway decisions based on their endorsement or shift in allegiance.
A handful of states practice a non-binding primary, which may select candidates to a state convention which then selects delegates.
Non-binding primaries is when states can select candidates to a specific state convention and then select delegates for the national convention. Binding primaries is when all of the delegates must vote for a candidate at the national convention.

States don't have "delegates to Congress," they have Representatives and Senators. Territories have non-voting delegates. The number of Representatives a State has is determined by its population. They each have two Senators.
There is no doctrine of non-binding precedents. Non-binding opinions that may be used as guidelines for deciding future cases are called persuasive precedents. Binding precedents are upheld under the doctrine of stare decisis (Latin: Let the decision stand).
