What Is a Republican Assembly?
A Republican Assembly is a gathering of elected delegates who vote to decide which candidates earn a spot on the Republican primary ballot. It's one of the most direct ways everyday Republicans shape who represents them.
It's the Party's Convention
Think of it as a mini-convention. Delegates from across the county, district, or state come together, hear from candidates, debate, and vote on who should appear on the primary ballot.
Candidates Need 30% to Make the Ballot
To earn a place on the Republican primary ballot through the assembly process, a candidate must receive at least 30% of the delegate vote. The top vote-getter is designated as the party's preferred candidate.
Delegates Are Elected at Caucus
Delegates to the County Assembly are elected by their neighbors at the precinct caucus. Delegates to the Congressional and State assemblies are then selected at the County Assembly.
Your Vote Has Outsized Power
Because relatively few people participate as delegates, each delegate's vote carries enormous weight. This is grassroots democracy at its most direct.
How the Assembly Process Works
From caucus night to the primary ballot — here's the full path through all three levels.

Candidates with 30%+ of the delegate vote appear on the primary ballot. All registered Republicans may vote.
