Precinct meetings

How will your precincts meet?

Select the method that matches your plan of organization for this year.

1. Precinct meetings before the convention

Precinct meetings are held on earlier date(s). Credentials report on Delegates and Alternates must be issued at least 3 days before the County Convention, and any challenges must be heard prior to the convention.

2. Same day, prior to convention

Precinct meetings and the County Convention are on the same day, with precincts meeting first. Credentials report is issued before any business at the convention.

3. Concurrent with convention

Precinct meetings are held concurrently with the County Convention. Challenged Delegates and Alternates are notified that day and may present their cases to the Credentials Committee.

In production, additional fields below will be shown or hidden based on the method selected.

Registration options

How will people register for your county convention?

Choose whether to use the optional NCGOP registration system or your own process.

Use the NCGOP county registration system (recommended)

Delegates, alternates, and guests register online using a county-specific link. Data flows directly into your credentialing workspace. Learn more about the registration system.

Our county has its own online registration form

Provide the link to your existing registration page. We will display this link on the public notice page.

County registration link

No pre-registration; registration at the door

Your county does not take advance registrations. We will indicate on the public notice page that attendees register on-site at check-in.

If you select the NCGOP registration system, you’ll be redirected to additional setup after saving this form (registration questions, fee options, etc.).

Changes are saved when you click Save Draft. When you click Publish to Public Notice, the public page is updated with the information entered above.
