Every precinct is entitled to at least two delegates and two alternates to represent the precinct at the Arapahoe County Republican Assembly in March 2012. Depending on how many votes the precinct cast for the Republican candidate for President or Governor in the last general election, the precinct may be entitled to additional delegates and alternates.

Delegates will attend and participate in the County Assembly. The assembly will choose who the Republican candidates will be, and the order in which multiple candidates will appear on the primary ballot. The assembly will also elect delegates and alternates to represent the county at the State Assembly from amongst the delegates and alternates that were elected at the caucuses. Finally, the assembly will consider and vote on resolutions that were passed at the precinct caucuses so that they may be adopted at the county level. As necessary, resolutions will be forwarded to the appropriate county elected officials, or to the State Assembly.

In addition to electing delegates, the precinct caucus will also elect alternates. Alternates should also attend the County Assembly. If an elected delegate is not able to attend, alternates will be seated to participate in their place in the order they received votes at the precinct caucus. However, even if an alternate is not seated to vote at the County Assembly, alternates may be elected as delegates to the State and other assemblies. So it is important that alternates also attend the County Assembly.
