State delegates play a crucial role in Utah’s Caucus & Convention System, ensuring that grassroots Republican voters have a direct voice in selecting candidates and shaping the party’s platform.

Key Responsibilities of a State Delegate

Represent Your Precinct
Delegates are elected at neighborhood caucus meetings and serve as a voice for their precinct, representing the interests and concerns of local Republican voters.

Nominate Republican Candidates
Delegates attend the Utah Republican State Convention, where they hear from candidates and vote to determine which Republican candidates will appear on the primary ballot—or, if a candidate secures 60% or more of the delegate vote, they become the party nominee.

Engage with Candidates
Delegates meet with candidates running for office, ask questions, and evaluate their positions on key issues before voting at the convention. This ensures that Republican nominees reflect the values and priorities of Utah’s conservative voters.

Shape the Party’s Platform
Delegates have the opportunity to propose and vote on party resolutions and platform changes, helping to guide the direction of the Utah Republican Party.

Stay Informed & Involved
Throughout their term, delegates are expected to stay engaged with political developments, attend meetings, and communicate with fellow Republicans in their precinct to keep them informed.
