The state of Michigan will conduct presidential primary elections on Tuesday, February 28, 2012.
Any voter registered in Michigan may vote in the Republican primary election. By choosing to do so, he declares himself to be a "Republican", and that association is then a matter of public information. (His actual vote at the Republican primary are of course private.)
The Michigan delegates to the national Republican Party Convention (chosen later at the state Republican Convention) will be committed to the various contenders for the Republican nomination based on the results of the primary election. The commitment of some of the seats will be based on the vote in the Congressional District with which those seats are associated; the commitment of other seats will be based on the statewide vote in the primary election, the seats being allocated proportionally over contenders receiving at least 15% of the vote.
30 seats will be allocated, the size of the Michigan delegation to the Republican National Convention under the penalty imposed for Michigan "going too early" (the state's normal allotment would apparently have been 60 delegates, but I can't follow the details of that). The details of the allotment under the penalty are not completely clear to me.
The commitment of the delegates is only through the first round of balloting at the National Convention.
There are further subtleties I do not have the energy to characterize.
Best regards,
Doug
