Document #2
HOW DELEGATES TO THE DISTRICT AND STATE CONVENTIONS ARE ELECTED
Why is there only one election for Delegates to two Conventions? Under our rules, those individuals who are elected as Delegates to the State Convention also serve as Delegates to the District Convention. There is no separate election for Delegates to the District Convention and someone who can only attend the District Convention must still be elected as a Delegate to the State Convention.
How many Delegates can be elected? Moore County is allotted 111 Delegates and 111 Alternates to both the State and District Conventions. After Counties like Mecklenburg and Wake, we have one of the largest contingents.
Who has first priority to be elected? The Delegates and Alternates attending the County Convention are asked if they wish to be elected as a Delegate. Those who do are deemed elected in the order in which they signed in during the registration process. Delegates are elected before Alternate slots can be filled.
What if the 111 Delegate slots are not filled by the Delegates and Alternates in attendance? Observers in attendance who were registered as Republicans on January 31, 2019, in the Moore County precinct where they reside are given the second priority. They too are asked if they want to be a Delegate to the State Convention during the registration process. Those who so nominate themselves will be deemed elected in the order in which they register until all Delegate and Alternate slots are filled.
What if I can’t attend the County Convention but still want to be a Delegate to the State Convention? If all of the Delegate and Alternate slots are not filled by those in attendance at the County Convention, those eligible Republicans who contact the Chair of the Credentials Committee, either directly or indirectly through a Precinct Chair, the County Chair or the County Secretary before 9 a.m. on the day of the Convention and express the desire to be elected as a Delegate will be deemed to have been elected as a Delegate or Alternate in the order in which the contact is made. To simplify this procedure, anyone wishing to so nominate himself or herself should contact Bill Scholtes by email at gop.mcrp@gmail.com.
