GALLATIN COUNTY REPUBLICANS


Precinct Delegate



Become a Republican Precinct Delegate

We are a grassroots organization – so we need active and committed Republicans to serve as precinct officers.  Under Montana law, Republican voters of each precinct may elect one male and one female precinct officer. If you’re interested, we’d ask that you please step forward and help serve the Party in this capacity.


The job of a Republican committee member (delegate) is extremely important because committee members represent the registered Republican voters in their neighborhood. Committee members also represent the Republican Committee of Gallatin County to the voters in their precinct. To many people, THE COMMITTEE PERSON IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, since he or she is the first and most accessible GOP contact, and often the only link between the Party and the people.

Generally, there are two or three county conventions every two years which Precinct Delegates must attend.

Duties of a Republican Delegate (Committee Member)

The committee member’s primary goal is to elect qualified Republicans to office and to promote the principles of the Republican Party. The committee member is active throughout the year, interacting with the voters and working to elect qualified Republicans to office. These responsibilities do not just occur on Election Day.


These duties may seem like a very big responsibility, but as with anything else, if you take it step-by- step and develop a well laid out plan in advance, you will find that your job will be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences that you will ever have.
