What is a Convention

It’s a place for people who vote in the Republican Primary election, or affiliate with the party to define our shared beliefs and to determine how we will promote them. We do this by creating a platform and by setting rules and electing people to run the party between conventions.

Who can attend a Convention?

Anyone who is a registered voter, who has affiliated with the Republican Party, either by voting in the Party Primary or by taking an oath of affiliation (forms will be available at the Precinct Convention). You can only affiliate with one party during each election year.

What is a delegate?

Delegates are grassroots Republicans who participate in the shaping of the Republican Party, its role, and its direction regarding public policy. They volunteer and are chosen by their districts to attend the party’s conventions in each even-numbered year.

Step 1: Precinct Conventions

When and where: Comal County 2024 Precinct Conventions will be held on March 9 at the places and times listed here.

What to expect: If you are a registered voter and affiliated with the Republican Party, you can participate in this convention. You can introduce and vote on resolutions. Then elect delegates and alternates to the next convention level.

Step 2: Comal County Convention

When and where: Comal County Convention will be held on March 23, 2024 at 10 AM at the First Protestant Church, 172 W, Coll Street. You can become a delegate to the County Convention by being elected as a delegate at  the Precinct Convention.

What to expect: Comal County will be posting on the website a list of the chair and members of each committee prior to the County Convention.  You can visit committee meetings and let them know what issues are important to you. At the convention, you’ll set the rules by which the convention will operate. You will be able to vote on resolutions the committees have worked on. Then you’ll elect delegates and alternates to the state convention level. 

Step 3: State Convention

When and where: This convention will be held in San Antonio from May 20th-25th. Committees will meet beginning May 20th.  General Session and Caucuses will meet May 23rd-25th. Please check www.texasgop.org for convention details.

What to expect: You will be able to testify before the committees on issues you care about, vote on the platform that will state the beliefs of the Party, vote on the rules that will steer the Party, elect the State Chair, State Vice-chair and your State Republican Committeeman and Committeewoman that will serve the next two years. You will also elect the National Committeeman and National Committeewoman, and elect National Delegates, and Electors. 

Why become a delegate to a Convention?

Because you will have an instrumental role in shaping the beliefs of the Party and determining the methods of implementation in public policy.
