Caucuses are a gathering of individuals from each precinct across the county.
You live in a precinct in Clallam County. Your precinct number will show on your voter registration card. You can also look it up at http://www.clallam.net/Auditor/RegistertoVote.html on the internet, or check for where you live, which is designated on the precinct maps (http://www.clallam.net/Auditor/documents/countymap.pdf).
Every four years, during a presidential election, the Republican Party holds caucuses and a county convention.
The caucus date for the Republican Party in Washington State is scheduled for January 13, 2024 at 10 a.m. There will more than likely be “grouped” caucuses in each of the 3 county commissioner districts across the county: The west end (Forks and area) is in District 3, and the precinct caucuses will be held there. District 2 – comprised of Port Angeles and outlying areas to the east, will be held in another location; and District 1 – Sequim and outlying areas, will be held in yet a third location. The locations, when determined, will be in the local newspapers, as well as on our website at Clallam Republicans.org.
The purpose of a caucus in 2024 is two-fold. You and your Republican neighbors will meet to elect delegates to the county convention, to be held February 24, 2024. You will also discuss issues of importance to you, and write notes (or resolutions) about these, which will be forwarded to the Platform and Resolutions committee to be considered for the Platform. The county platform states what we stand for as a Party, and will be presented at the county convention, debated, and passed, effective for the next four years.
From the delegates at the county convention will be elected delegates to attend the state convention, the state platform will be presented, debated and passed, and delegates will be elected to go to the national convention. Electors from our State will also be elected.
The caucus is a great opportunity to be involved with your Party at a grassroots – the most important – level. Individuals are who make up this great country of ours, and if you don’t state your beliefs – then vote – we may lose this great Constitutional Republic of ours.
Please mark your calendar and show up to participate in your own government.
In a Nutshell:
- To elect delegates for the county convention. From those elected, delegates will be elected to go to the state convention; and then from those delegates, individuals will be elected to attend the national convention, to represent us in our choice of nominee.
- To discuss issues of importance, to be forwarded for consideration in the county Platform and Resolutions to the Platform.
