Precinct Election Information (9 am)
What are precinct elections?
Republican voters in each precinct meet to elect a Captain, a Co-Captain and a Youth Captain (40 years of age or younger when elected). The elections are a part of the reorganization of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Republican Party of Kentucky that occurs every 4 years. The purpose is to strengthen our grassroots efforts so we can elect Republican candidates to offices from the local to the national level.
Who can participate?
To participate, you must be a Registered Republican voter in Warren County as of October 10, 2011 (i.e. eligible Republican voter in previous General Election). You must show a government issued photo ID.
What are duties of precinct officers?
Precinct officers are expected to support the Republican Party and to volunteer for Republican candidates. Ideally, precinct officers are the first level of grassroots volunteerism that the party needs to campaign effectively and win elections. Volunteering in our local Victory Office and/or with our 72-hour Campaign is appreciated. Effective volunteer efforts include networking with voters, recruiting other volunteers, distributing yard signs, encouraging new residents to register to vote, and contacting Republican voters to remind them to vote.
