Participation
● If you voted in the Republican Primary, you can participate in your precinct’s convention.
o Anyone who did not vote in the primary can complete the Oath of Affiliation.
● If only one person attends, he/she fills out the minutes and may elect delegates and alternates to the
county/SD convention.
● Election judges are allowed to participate in the convention after closing down the polling location and prior
to returning the ballots.

time for them to finish voting and participate.

● To establish eligibility, compare the list of delegates and alternates to the list of people that voted in the
Republican primary which is provided by the election judge. Also consider any Oaths of Affiliation.

Why you should vote in the Republican Primary election:

1. Select which Republican candidate will face off with the Democrat in the General Election
2. Be eligible to participate in your precinct convention
3. Give input on 10 issues our Party has placed on the ballot

Here are the 10 Primary ballot propositions:
(Keep in mind that this is an opinion poll of Republican voters and not a policy referendum. When you vote YES or NO, you are telling us what you think should happen. You are not voting to make a law but merely saying you agree or disagree with the statement.)

1.) Texas should not restrict or prohibit prayer in public schools.

2.) Texas should reject restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.

3.) Texas should ban the practice of taxpayer-funded lobbying, which allows your tax dollars to be spent on lobbyists who work against the taxpayer.

4.) Texas should support the construction of a physical barrier and use existing defense-grade surveillance equipment along the entire southern border of Texas.

5.) Texas parents or legal guardians of public school children under the age of 18 should be the sole decision makers for all their children’s healthcare decisions including, but not limited to, psychological assessment and treatment, contraception, and sex education.

6.) Texas should ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgery on all minor children for transition purposes, given that Texas children as young as three (3) are being transitioned from their biological sex to the opposite sex.

7.) Texans should protect and preserve all historical monuments, artifacts, and buildings, such as the Alamo Cenotaph and our beloved Alamo, and should oppose any reimagining of the Alamo site.

8.) Texas election officials should heed the directives of the Office of the Governor to purge illegal voters from the voter rolls and verify that each new registered voter is a U.S. Citizen.

9.) Bail in Texas should be based only on a person’s danger to society and risk of flight, not that person’s ability to pay.

10.) Texas should limit our state legislators’ terms to 12 years.
