1a. Make sure you're registered Republican
URGENT: This must be accomplished immediately. If you're not registered Republican you need to have your voter registration AT the Salt Lake County Clerks no later than January 6th!

1b. Find out which Precinct you're in:

Go here: https://secure.slco.org/cl/elections/index.cfm
Enter your address
Click "My Polling Locations"
((While you're here, double check that you're registered! You may have to call the Election Division at (801) 468-3427 to make sure you're actually registered Republican.))

2. Find out who's your Precinct Chair:

If you're in Salt Lake County, send an email to Randy O'Hara, the Salt Lake County Political Director for the Utah GOP: randyohara@yahoo.com
It took me 3 weeks to finally get a hold of Randy. Don't give up. If you can't get a hold of him, contact someone else in the SL County GOP. Contact info here: http://slcogop.com/contact/
If you're in another county, call the Utah GOP at 801-533-9777 and find out the coordinator for your county.
Make sure you include your Precinct number when you email them.
Ask for contact information for your Precinct Chair and location of your Precinct's Caucus on March 25th.
((If your Precinct has no Chair, you should volunteer for the job!))

3a. Vote in the Republican Primary on February 5th.

Canvas, canvas, canvas!
Delegates are distributed to Precincts by the Utah GOP based on the number of voters in your Precinct.
The more people who vote in your Precinct, the more delegates your Precinct will get for the State Convention.

3b. Absentee Voting

If your neighbors can't or won't attend the Primary, get them to vote absentee.
Take this form with you when you canvas: http://www.clerk.slco.org/pdf/08_WPP_ABSENTEE_BALLOT_APPLICATION1.pdf
Have the Absentee Ballot mailed to your home. When you receive the Ballot, go back to your neighbor and have them fill it out.
Bring a stamp with you, and drop it in the mail for them!

4. Show up to the Neighborhood Caucus on March 25th and get elected.

You must be elected at the Caucus to be a delegate.
Here's where your canvasing will pay off!
Bring about 10-15 people with you (who live in your Precinct) to the Caucus meeting so they can vote for you.

5. Attend the State Convention May 10th
The State Convention is at Utah Valley State College (Now Utah Valley University), in Orem.

6. Attend the National Convention September 1 - 4
If you're elected to represent Utah at the state convention, you'll be attending the National Convention in Minneapolis, MN. This is a 4-day convention and you must be prepared to attend all 4 days.
