According to the Nebraska State Republican Party Constitution, on even-numbered years, each county is to hold a county convention between March 1, and April 10.
The purpose is to elect officers for the county party, elect delegates to attend the State Republican Party Convention, and conduct any other business to be done.
It is also a time for party candidates to address voters on what they hope to accomplish when elected to local, state, or national office. In addition, at the convention, if there are other items to be voted on in an election, those may be discussed.
The county convention is open to all registered Republicans in Clay County, who are encouraged to attend. However, to vote in a county convention a person must be a county delegate. To become a county delegate, a person must have completed a delegate form with the county’s election commissioner by March 1.
Those applicants are then verified by the commissioner and sent to current state and county officers.
The Clay County Republican Party encourages Clay County Republican voters to attend the county convention and learn more about its county party, the upcoming elections and issues facing us.
The convention is slated to be held this Thursday, March 14, the Clay County Republican Party will hold its county party convention.
The convention begins at 7 p.m. in the courtroom at the Clay County Courthouse.
Voters should make informed decisions when casting their vote.
Learning about local, state and federal candidates and issues are important for all voters; depending on hearsay is not a good basis for the way a person votes.
Voting is a right that must be thought of as a privilege not to be taken for granted. Even local races are important and they can affect even nationwide issues. The saying “Every Vote Counts” is so true, especially in local races. So be informed and then you can be confident that your vote did make a difference.
