John,

While we find ourselves going through the process of changing the date
of the Maine Republican Party State Convention due to the Coronavirus
pandemic, we must still vote to elect our National Delegates and
National Alternate Delegates to the National Convention by May 2 in
accordance with our official filing with the Republican National
Committee.

Because this deadline is immovable, we will be conducting the election
of Delegates and Alternates to the National Convention using the same
procedures utilized by the Maine Secretary of State for overseas ballots
in state elections. This will include a mail or email ballot with
privacy covers.

All PAID State Delegates to the

**State Convention** will automatically receive a ballot. Maine
Republican Party Convention Rules govern this election process.

There is an application attached below and a small application fee to
run for National Delegate or Alternate. Any Republican in Maine is
entitled to place their name on the ballot. If you are thinking about
attending the National Convention as a National Delegate or National
Alternate Delegate, here is some information:

The convention will be held in Charlotte, NC from Monday, August 24
through Thursday August 27. Applicants will be responsible to pay for
their own travel to the event, lodging and any meals. The Maine
Republican Party will reserve and make available a block of rooms at a
hotel in the region.

Candidates for National Delegate and National Alternate Delegate should
understand that their candidate applications will be submitted for
matters of eligibility by the Maine Republican Party and for review and
security reasons to national stakeholders responsible for the successful
management of the national convention.

The deadline for receiving applications is Wednesday, April 8th. If you
want to have your name on the ballot, please fill out the information
below. You can send it to Maine Republican Party, 9 Higgins Street,
Augusta 04330.

We would prefer that you scan and email your application to
[email protected] to speed up the process and
secure your application. Make your delegate payment online at the
following link, and write "National Delegate Application Fee" in the
comments. [link removed]

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely,

Kim Pettengill
Chair of Convention Arrangements

Jason Savage
Executive Director
