PROCEDURE FOR FILING FOR DELEGATE OR ALTERNATE: Candidates seeking to
represent the voters of Arkansas at the 2008 Republican National Convention must
qualify by filing at the State GOP Headquarters during regular business hours from
January 21, 2008 through February 4, 2008. If mailed, the filing must be received at the
State GOP Headquarters by the close of business on February 4, 2008. Further,
candidates must commit themselves to the support of a specific presidential candidate at
the time of filing for a position as delegate/alternate. Properly filed candidates shall be
eligible for election as delegates or alternates at the Special District Convention or the
State Committee Meeting called for that purpose. The names of properly filed
delegate/alternate candidates shall be listed on a ballot to be voted at the Special District
Convention to be held on May 17, 2008. The names of properly filed candidates that
remain following the allocation of delegates and alternates at the Special District
Convention shall be listed on a ballot to be voted at the State Committee Meeting to be
held on June 14, 2008. The qualifying filing fee is $125.00 per person payable to the
Republican Party of Arkansas. It is suggested that each presidential candidate submit a
list of recommended candidates for the delegates and alternates allocated to Arkansas.
Delegate/Alternate candidates recommended by each presidential candidate or his/her
designee will be identified on ballots to be voted at the Special District Convention and at
the State Committee Meeting if the listing of recommended Delegate/Alternate
candidates is received at the State GOP Headquarters by the close of business on May 2,
2008.
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COUNTY CONVENTION: During the month of April, 2008 all
counties shall hold a Special Meeting of the County Convention for the purpose of
electing delegates to a Special District Convention to be held on May 17, 2008. The
purpose of the Special District Convention is to elect three (3) Delegates and three (3)
Alternates to the 2008 Republican National Convention from each Congressional
District.
The Special Meeting of the County Convention shall be comprised of qualified voters in
that county who have filed during the filing period (March 18, 2008 - April 1, 2008) to be
a member of the County Committee and a delegate to the County Convention.
The membership of the Special District Convention shall consist of delegates elected
from each county within the Congressional District based on the following formula:
1. Three (3) delegates from each county.
2. One (1) delegate for each two thousand (2000) votes, or major fraction thereof,
cast for the Republican Candidate for Governor in the immediately preceding
gubernatorial election.
3. One (1) delegate for each Republican holding countywide office.
4. One (1) delegate for each Republican holding the office of Justice of the Peace.
5. One (1) delegate for each College Republican club in the county in good standing
with the AFCR.
6. One (1) delegate for each Republican Women’s Club in the county in good
standing with the AFRW and NFRW.
7. One (1) delegate for each Young Republican Club in the county in good standing
with the AFYR.

I think this is a great resource to use for tracking delegate activity by county.
