2024 PRECINCT, COUNTY AND STATE CONVENTION INFORMATION

Attention Bastrop County Republican voters. In previous election years, our Precinct Conventions have been held the evening of the election at the precincts polling location after the polls closed. This makes for a very long day for those as poll workers, a job, or raising their families.  This year, Bastrop County is conducting county wide elections.

In an effort to reduce costs, planning and logistics, BCRP has combined all of our Bastrop County Republican Party’s “Precinct Conventions” to meet at one location on March 9th, 2024 at 1:00pm. The combined conventions will be held at:

Family Worship Center
2425 FM 1704

Each precinct will have its own area in which to hold their convention and will be provided an agenda of items to be covered. To be eligible to attend your precinct’s convention, you must have voted Republican in the Primary, or have signed a Certificate of Party Affiliation.

Bastrop County Republican Party’s “County Convention” will also be held at the Family Worship Center on March 23rd, 2024 at 9:00am. To be eligible to participate in the County Convention you must have been nominated and elected at your Precinct Convention as a Delegate or Alternate to the County Convention. Guests are welcomed.

The Republican Party of Texas “State Convention” will be held in San Antonio at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. It begins Thursday, May 23rd, and ends Saturday, May 25th.
