Precinct delegate elections take place during the August Primary Election.

Only those voting in the Republican Primary in your precinct will vote for you. There is no cross-ballot voting in the primary, meaning if they vote they either vote on solely the Republican side of the ballot, or solely on the Democratic side.

Your name will appear on the Republican side of the ballot at the bottom.

NO, Precinct Delegate candidates are NOT required to file disclosure forms or campaign finance compliance statements.

The person(s) with the highest vote total are elected.

You will receive a notice in the mail from the Kent County Clerk identifying you as the winner. 

Officially, you are running to be a “Delegate to the County Convention”, meaning you will vote at all County Conventions called in your term. You will be notified of the date, location, and purpose of these conventions through the “Call to Convention.” Aside from being a delegate, you can help Republicans in your precinct by contacting neighbors and getting them to show up to the polls on Election Day.

Your term as precinct delegate is two years. It begins the day you are elected and will end the day of the August primary in 2024.
