What is a Delegate?
A delegate is an elected representative to the county political party from their precinct. Delegates are elected at the precinct caucus meetings. Any person who will be age 18 by the general election and has lived in Utah at least 30 days immediately before the next election can be a delegate.
- Delegates represent their precinct and attend & vote at all County Party Conventions.
- Depending on the county you live in, a county party delegate may also be a state party delegate. Contact your county party to determine the process for becoming a state delegate.
- Delegates assist Precinct Officers with political organizing in their legislative district.
- Delegates vote on the content of their party platforms and governing documents.
- Delegates are elected to a 2 year term.
What are the responsibilities of a delegate?
- Attend and vote at ALL County Party Conventions and give prompt notice to the Precinct and Legislative Chair if unable to attend. (Time commitment is about 10 hours per year.)
- Assist the Precinct Officers with political organizing at the precinct & legislative district levels.
When an elected official resigns from his or her seat before their term is up, delegates gather to elect a new official to the vacated seat.
