  • Refer to the state voter website for examples of acceptable identification. Click to See Voter ID Examples
• Caucus Registration Confirmation Email
  • Please show your registration email at the door to receive credential and ballots. Confirmation emails may be printed or shown on a mobile device.
• Pen or Pencil
  • This will be needed to take notes and fill out your ballots.

  • With five precinct positions to vote on, there will be many candidates to talk to and evaluate. A notebook will be very helpful in taking notes on each candidate.

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.

Precinct Role Descriptions

Let precinct members know you are running. Here are some ways you can do that:

• Post it to your social media.
• Call, Text or email the neighbors and friends you know.

• What position you are running for
• Why you decided to run
• That you will fulfill all the duties and commitments of the position
• The principles and values that you stand for
• Any specific issues that are of a concern to you

Plan to arrive early so that you can talk to as many neighbors as possible. The more neighbors you can talk to, the better your chances are at getting elected. Please note that parking will be limited depending on your caucus location.

You may not have time to talk to every precinct member, but you can give them a brief 1/4 page summary:

• Who you are?
• Why you are running?
• How you will represent the values of your precinct?
• Have you pledged your delegate vote to a candidate?

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.
