The Convention is primarily for current State Delegates. All delegates and non-delegates (such as press, spouses and guests) must register for security reasons. Registration is free. Non-delegate guests are not guaranteed admittance. If a delegate forgets to RSVP, they may do so while credentialing. 

We encourage all delegates to RSVP in advance to facilitate their check in process and ensure they are receiving the most up-to-date information from the party. If a delegate forgets to RSVP, they may do so while they credential. Non-delegate attendees are not guaranteed admittance and must RSVP in advance. 

Members of the general public may attend as space allows and if they have RSVP'd in advance. Attendance of non-delegates is not guaranteed and subject to the purpose they state on the registration form. Anyone causing a disruption or violating decorum may be asked to leave. 

Volunteers can sign up to help here.

If you were elected as a State Delegate at your local caucus meeting, you should receive official communication from the Party. If you’re unsure, contact your County Republican Party to confirm your status.

Delegates should plan to arrive early. Credentialing opens at 7:30 a.m., and we strongly encourage you not to wait until the last minute. Arriving early will help ensure a smooth check-in process and avoid delays.

Delegates must bring a valid Utah driver's license to complete the credentialing process. 

All voting will be conducted using paper ballots this year. Please bring a pen to fill out your ballot.
