    How to be a Convention Delegate

    February 18, 2022 by Bastrop County Republican Party in / / / /

    PLEASE NOTE: Several precinct convention locations have changed.  If you live in precinct 1001, 1002, 1003, 2010 or 4024, please click the “Check this list” link again to see the new location list.

    Why would you want to be a convention delegate?  Convention delegates vote for the GOP Party platform.  Delegates to state convention choose the Party chair who will lead the Texas GOP through the midterms and in preparation for the 2024 Presidential election.  Besides the formal business, you meet like minded people!

    The process is as follows:

    1. Vote in the GOP primary or fill out the form to affiliate with the Republican Party.
    2. Attend your precinct convention.  Precinct conventions will be held after the polls close at 7PM on March 1.  Where? Check this list for your precinct convention location.
    3. If you can’t make the convention: Please email Chairman Mike Gepner no later than February 25 at . Include your name, precinct, email address, and phone number in the email. If you have resolutions for consideration by the convention, please bring them to the precinct convention or email them to Mike Gepner.
    4. Be sure you are nominated and vote in as a delegate or alternate to the Bastrop County GOP Convention.
    5. This is a must to be a delegate to the Bastrop County convention.
      1. If you arrive for your precinct convention and no one else is there, you can run your own convention.  There will be a packet with forms that need to be filled out.  Do so, and you’ll have run your first convention!
      2. If more than one person arrives, but no one seems to be in charge, you can run the convention.
    6. When you receive the application to be a delegate to the State convention (June 16-18, Houston), be sure to return it as quickly as possible.  This is a must to be a delegate to the TexasGOP convention.
    7. Attend the Bastrop County GOP convention on March 26 at 10AM at the Family Worship Center, 2425 FM 1704, Elgin.
    8. Be sure you are nominated and vote in as a delegate or alternate to the Texas GOP Convention.
