Thread: Montana's Advisory Primary/Caucus Process and How to Become a Delegate

    Montana's Advisory Primary/Caucus Process and How to Become a Delegate

    Montana has an advisory primary/caucus system where the primary election for the Republican nominee for President has no binding effect on how delegates are allocated. Instead, delegates to the National Convention will be selected through the process below:


    Advisory Primary/Caucus Process

    1. On June 5, Montana will hold a primary election for the Republican nominee for President. The vote for the Republican nominee for President will have no binding effect whatsoever (it is a beauty contest).

    2. At County Conventions held at least 10 days prior to June 14, members of the County Central Committees will elect delegates to the State Delegate Convention. Each County GOP will have its own County Convention date. Contact your County GOP for the date.

    3. At the State Delegate Convention between June 14-16, delegates will elect delegates to the National Convention.


    How to Become a Member of Your County Central Committees

    1. The goal is to become a member of the County Central Committee to be eligible to vote for delegates to the State Delegate Convention.

    2. Members of the County Central Committees consist of Precinct Committeemen and Precinct Committeewomen (PC). You can become a PC in one of two methods: (1) be elected or (2) be appointed. The election has already occurred. The only way now to become a PC is to be appointed by your Country GOP if there is a vacancy in your precinct.

    3. In order to be appointed by your County GOP, you must be a registered voter in the precinct in which you live. Each County GOP has their own rules on how to be appointed (by majority vote of the County Central Committee, by the discretion of the Chairman, etc.). Contact your County GOP to determine if there is a vacancy in your precinct and if there is, how you can become appointed as a PC. The deadline to be appointed as a PC and be eligible to vote for delegates to the State Delegate Convention is 60 days before the County Convention.


    How to Become a Delegate to the State Delegate Convention

    1. At County Conventions, members of the County Central Committees will elect delegates to the State Delegate Convention. This is all the information that is available right now. I am unsure if you need to fill out a form or be nominated to be a candidate for delegate to the State Delegate Convention.


    How to Become a Delegate to the National Convention

    1. Be nominated by the Montana GOP Nominating Committee or be nominated from the floor of the State Delegate Convention.

    2. In order to be considered by the Nominating Committee, you must fill out this national delegate nomination form here. The form must be returned to Montana GOP headquarters no later than May 31.


    Summary:

    All Montana supporters need to become a Precinct Committeeman/woman to have ANY say in the Republican Presidential nomination process.

    To become a PC, contact your County GOP and ask to volunteer as a PC if there is a vacancy in your precinct (DO NOT mention anything related to Ron Paul). You must become a PC at least 60 days before your County Convention, which means early April is probably the deadline.

    Going to post this on the delegates page!

    edit: If there is information for other states in this format, we'd love to put it on the http://ronpauldelegates.wordpress.com/ page. Currently we've been using the green papers to fill the gaps.

    Every single Montana supporter needs to ask their County Chairman how they can become a Precinct Committeeman or Committeewomen (PC).

    If you do not become a PC, you will have no say in the delegate selection process. The deadline to become a PC is early April.

    Where are our Montana supporters?

    Please try to become a Precinct Committeeman or Committeewoman. This is the ONLY way you can be involved in the delegate selection process.
