What is Caucus?

Caucus is a process in which you and your Republican neighbors meet together to elect two Republican leaders for your precinct (known as "precinct committee people") and to elect two or more delegates and alternates to the Arapahoe County Republican Assembly.

The two precinct committee people represent the precinct at the Arapahoe County Republican Central Committee for two years and will have an influence on the direction of the county party for those two years.

The elected delegates represent your precinct at the County Assembly--where they will participate in the County Assembly and may be elected to be delegates to other assemblies, such as the State Assembly. Delegates and alternates have an influence on who the Republican party will choose as their candidates in 2012.

An individual may be elected precinct committee person and delegate or alternate.

In addition to electing precinct committee people, delegates, and alternates, additional business may be conducted--such as holding a preference/straw poll and/or voting on resolutions important to you and your neighbors.
