Delegate Selection

Delegates to the state convention are chosen at county conventions. Potential delegates to the state convention are more likely to be selected if they are delegates at county convention. To be a delegate at county convention you must be selected as a delegate at precinct convention. If someone lives in your precinct they may select you as a delegate to the county convention but it’s normally best to attend the precinct convention. This does mean attending a minimum of three conventions but is the most likely way to be selected.
