Bastrop County Republican Party County Convention

The Bastrop County Republican Party held their County Convention on March 23rd at Family Worship Center in Elgin, TX. Delegates and Alternates were elected to attend the Republican State Convention to be held in San Antonio on May 23rd thru May 25th. Next the Delegates voted on Resolutions to be sent to the Republican Party of Texas State Convention for approval. If the resolutions are approved, they will be used to help establish the party platform. Overall, the County Convention was a success with participation of 19 out of 26 Precincts in attendance. The convention adjourned and allowed attendees to enjoy lunch and fellowship.

2024 PRECINCT, COUNTY AND STATE CONVENTION INFORMATION

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Attention Bastrop County Republican voters. In previous election years, our Precinct Conventions have been held the evening of the election at the precincts polling location after the polls closed. This makes for a very long day for those as poll workers, a job, or raising their families.  This year, Bastrop County is conducting county wide elections.

In an effort to reduce costs, planning and logistics, BCRP has combined all of our Bastrop County Republican Party’s “Precinct Conventions” to meet at one location on March 9th, 2024 at 1:00pm. The combined conventions will be held at:

Family Worship Center
2425 FM 1704
Elgin, TX 78621

Each precinct will have its own area in which to hold their convention and will be provided an agenda of items to be covered. To be eligible to attend your precinct’s convention, you must have voted Republican in the Primary, or have signed a Certificate of Party Affiliation.

Bastrop County Republican Party’s “County Convention” will also be held at the Family Worship Center on March 23rd, 2024 at 9:00am. To be eligible to participate in the County Convention you must have been nominated and elected at your Precinct Convention as a Delegate or Alternate to the County Convention. Guests are welcomed.

The Republican Party of Texas “State Convention” will be held in San Antonio at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. It begins Thursday, May 23rd, and ends Saturday, May 25th. To be eligible to participate at the State Convention as a delegate or alternate, you must be elected at the County Convention.

The party platform began with people like you; people that get involved and are willing to make a difference. Everyone is encouraged and welcomed to attend as a delegate, alternate or a guest.
