Historic Idaho GOP caucus coming March 6 |
February 18, 2012 |
Boise, Idaho – At its winter meeting, the Idaho
Republican State Central Committee, the
governing body of the Idaho GOP, met in Boise,
Idaho and reaffirmed its support of a change to
State Party Rules that will move Idaho’s
presidential candidate selection to Super
Tuesday and conduct the nominating process
through a county by county caucus system. Idaho
will send 32 voting delegates to the 2012
Republican National Convention in Tampa, which
will be more delegates than Iowa, New Hampshire
and Nevada. The Boundary County Republicans will hold their nomination process at Bonners Ferry High School on Tuesday, March 6th at 6:00 pm, most likely in the cafeteria/common room. Only registered Republicans will be able to vote at the Caucus. The doors will open at 5 p.m. for those who need to register to vote as well as those who just need to complete the affiliation form. Once the voting starts at 6 p.m. t e doors will be closed to anyone not in attendance or in line at that time. Certified registrars will be at the caucus to register voters and you must bring photo ID or sign an affidavit to register to vote in Idaho. Any Republican can also complete the affiliation form prior to the caucus at the county clerk’s office.

I believe that this Presidential election will be the most important one ever.” For more information about the details of the Presidential Caucus go to: http://www.BoundaryCountyRepublicans.com or you may contact Donna Capurso at DonnaCapurso2010@gmail.com or (208) 267-6506. |
