The Missouri Republican Party recently voted to move to our caucus system for the purpose of binding Missouri’s delegates to the national convention. This change was prompted by new rules from the Republican National Committee & Democratic National Committee requiring states to move their binding nominating contests to March 2012 or later. Failure to comply with these rules would have resulted in the loss of half of Missouri’s delegates at the national convention. Any registered voter who declares that they are a Republican can participate in the caucus in the county in which they are registered.
Each county caucus will review the proposed 2012 Missouri Republican Party platform and vote on proposed amendments submitted by caucus-goers.

Ed. Note:
Each county sends
a number of
delegates to the respective CD convention on April 21. The math
is based on "one
delegate and
alternate to the Congressional District Convention and State Convention
for each 700 votes cast for the Republican presidential ticket in 2008."
For example,
Adair County in the
6th CD sends 9 delegates and 9 alternates to the CD
convention.

After Jay Nixon vetoed the elections bill and the General Assembly failed to achieve final passage of the presidential primary bill prior to October 1, the Missouri Republican State Committee held an emergency meeting on Thursday to ensure our state is in compliance with the rules of the Republican Party. During this meeting, the committee voted unanimously to amend our call to convention and go to a caucus system for the 2012 election.
“The Missouri Republican Party is committed to ensuring that the Governor’s veto of the elections bill and the General Assembly’s failure to move our presidential primary will not disrupt the national nominating process,” said David Cole, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party. “A caucus will continue to protect the rights of Missourians to select the Republican nominee for president—and any self-declared Republican who is registered to vote in Missouri has the ability to participate in the caucus process.”
The delegate selection process, as agreed to by the state committee:
*The County Caucuses will take place on March 17, 2012. At these caucuses, which are open to any Republican who is registered to vote in that county, attendees will select delegates and alternates to the Congressional District Conventions and State Convention. No delegates to the national convention are selected at this time. The number of delegates and alternates per county is determined by the Missouri Republican Party based upon the number of GOP votes cast in the last presidential election.
* The Congressional District Conventions will take place on April 21, 2012. At each of these 8 conventions, delegates chosen at the county level will select 3 delegates and alternates to the National Convention and 1 presidential elector. The delegates and alternates will be required to declare allegiance to a candidate prior to the voting, and they will be bound to that candidate on the first ballot—unless they are released prior to the convention.
*The State Convention will take place on June 2, 2012. At the convention, delegates chosen at the county level will vote on 25 at-large delegates and alternates to the National Convention and 2 at large presidential electors. The delegates and alternates will be required to declare allegiance to a candidate prior to the voting, and they will be bound to that candidate on the first ballot—unless they are released prior to the convention.
In total, Missouri will have 52 delegates and 49 alternates to the Republican National Convention—24 selected at the congressional district caucuses, 25 selected at the state convention, and 1 delegate (but no alternate) for the state Party chairman, national committeeman and national committeewoman.
This Party action does not require legislative approval.
