Texas Delegate Threshold Guide Senate Districts in Texas have between 2 and 8 delegates. The guide below can be used to help determine what percentage a candidate must receive in order to earn a delegate(s). Find the number of delegates in a Senate District in the first column (See delegate table). Follow horizontally along the row to determine the percentage of the vote needed to capture the number of delegates shown in the top row. For example, in a Senate District with 3 delegates, a candidate must receive 16.68% to receive 1 delegate, 50.01% to receive 2 delegates and 83.34% to receive all 3 delegates.
