Conducting a Precinct Convention

● Pass resolutions for consideration at the county/SD convention.
Time/Place
● The County Executive Committee sets the date, time, and location. Contact your County Chair for info
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.

Republican primary voter in the precinct may act as temporary convention chair.
o The Permanent precinct convention chair does not become the precinct chair and their responsibilities

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.

The Republican Party County Convention will be held on Saturday, March 21st, 2020 at the Navarro County Courthouse, District Courtroom, at 10:00am
You can be a delegate to the Republican State Convention!
What is the Republican State Convention? It’s a place for people who vote in the Republican Primary election to define our shared beliefs and to determine how we will promote them. We do this by creating a platform and by setting rules and electing people to run the party between conventions.
Who can attend the Republican State Convention? Anyone who is a registered voter, who has affiliated with the Republican Party, either by voting in the Party Primary or by taking an oath of affiliation, and has been duly elected by the lower level conventions. You can affiliate with the Republican Party by voting in the Republican Primary Election or by taking an oath of affiliation. You can only affiliate with one party during each election year.
What is a delegate? Delegates are grassroots Republicans who participate in the shaping of the Republican Party, its role, and its direction regarding public policy. They volunteer and are chosen by their districts to attend the party’s conventions in each even-numbered year.
Step 1: Precinct Conventions When and where:
Your 2020 Precinct Convention will be held on Saturday, March 14th, 2020 in the District Courtroom of the Navarro County Courthouse beginning at 10:00 AM
What to expect: If you are a registered voter and affiliate with the Republican Party, you can participate in this convention. You can introduce and vote on resolutions. Then elect delegates and alternates to the next convention level.
Step 2: County / Senate District Conventions When and where: Your County or SD Convention will be held on March 21st, 2020. The Republican Party County Convention will be held on Saturday, March 21st, 2020 at the Navarro County Courthouse, District Courtroom, at 10:00am. What to expect: In the days or weeks before the convention, you can visit committee meetings and let them know what issues are important to you. At the convention, you’ll set the rules by which the convention will operate. You will be able to vote on resolutions the committees have worked on. Then you’ll elect delegates and alternates to the state convention level.
Step 3: State Convention When and where: May 11-16 -- Republican State Convention in Houston TX (Committees May 11-14, Delegates May 14-16) https://www.texasgop.org/convention What to expect: You will be able to testify before the committees on issues you care about, vote on the platform that will state the beliefs of the Party, vote on the rules that will steer the Party, and elect people to run the Party for the next two years. Why become a delegate to the Republican State Convention? Because you will have an instrumental role in shaping the beliefs of the Party and determining the methods of implementation in public policy!

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.
