Serving in a precinct position is a serious responsibility. Neighbors are counting on those elected to do their job. They need them to do the WHOLE job, not just the exciting parts. As you consider running for a precinct position, make sure you can commit the necessary time, and have the availability to attend the required meetings for your selected position.
Precinct Leadership positions (Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary) have year round duties and commitments that vary, but do most of their work leading up to the next Neighborhood Caucus Night.
Precinct Delegates start sprinting the day after Caucus, and keep going until the Nominating Convention, in 3-4 weeks time. They have a short period of time to attend meet & greets and cottage meetings, listen to debates, and to meet and vet numerous candidates across multiple races. While most of their work is done when the Nominating Convention ends, they still need to attend the Organizing Convention a year later to elect new party leaders.

The Davis County Republican Party will hold multiple training events prior to Caucus. Training slides are also posted under the Caucus Training section of this site. You can also reach out to your Legislative District Chair. They will be your primary point of contact for all things Caucus.
Make sure your contact info is updated with the Party so you can receive notifications.
The County and State Party will advertise when Caucus is on their website, but not everyone is watching it. We need you to help get the word out. Make sure all the Republican voters in your precinct are well informed about when Caucus is and How it works.
Everything you need will be provided to you at a Caucus training event on February 20th. Make sure to attend or meet with your Legislative District Chair to collect them. Event information will be emailed out and posted on the events section of this page.
