County GOP will hold caucus on Super Tuesday
January 13, 2012
Boise, Idaho – At its winter meeting, the Idaho Republican State Central Committee, the governing body of the Idaho GOP, met in Boise, and reaffirmed its support of a change to State Party Rules that will move Idaho’s presidential candidate selection to Super Tuesday and conduct the nominating process through a county by county caucus system.

Idaho will send 32 voting delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, which will be more delegates than Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.

The Boundary County Republicans will hold their nomination process at Bonners Ferry High School in the cafeteria/common room, with voting commencing at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 6.

Only registered Republicans will be able to vote at the caucus. The doors will open at 5 p.m. for those who need to register to vote as well as those who just need to complete the party affiliation form.

Once the voting starts at 6 p.m., the doors will be closed to anyone not in attendance or in line at that time.

Certified registrars will be at the caucus to register voters and you must bring photo ID or sign an affidavit to register to vote in Idaho.

Any Republican can also complete the affiliation form prior to the caucus at the county clerk’s office. For more details on voter registration go to: http://www.boundarycountyid.org/clerk/voting.htm.

“The Boundary County Republican Party is excited for the opportunity to host this first-of-its-kind Republican Presidential Caucus in Idaho, and we invite all Republicans who reside in our county to participate in this historic event,” said Boundary County Republican Committee chair Donna Capurso. “It is truly an honor for the Boundary County Republicans to have a say on who our 2012 Presidential nominee will be, and to which candidate Idaho will send its 32 delegates for support at the 2012 Republican National Convention. I believe that this Presidential election will be the most important one ever.”
