Utah State Republican Party Constitutional Amendments, v2

(If passed, to be effective at the 2014 Nominating Convention.)

ARTICLE XII
CAUCUS AND CONVENTION PROCEDURES
Section 1. Precinct Caucuses

C. No subsequent election or ratification shall be required by county conventions for state delegates elected at the precinct caucuses or at a caucus of delegates at the county convention.  All state delegates shall be elected at a precinct caucus or at a caucus of delegates at the county convention.

ARTICLE XII
CAUCUS AND CONVENTION PROCEDURES
Section 2. State and County Nominating Conventions

C. Delegates shall be apportioned based upon relative Republican strength of each county. Relative Republican strength shall be calculated by aggregating the total combined Republican votes cast at the previous election for governor/lieutenant governor, attorney general, state auditor, and state treasurer, excluding the vote for any
candidate who had no opposition. Each county's portion of the aggregate vote shall next be calculated on a strict percentage basis, without rounding. Each county whose allocation of delegates is smaller than the number of precincts in the county shall have its allocation of delegates increased to equal the number of precincts. In addition to the apportioned number of delegates, Republicans holding partisan elected offices and also county or state party officers, who are not elected as voting state delegates, may participate in the state conventions as credentialed Legislative, State, or County Representatives. Participation by these credentialed representatives is limited to speaking and voting on floor issues, but does not include voting for candidates.
