Tuesday 5 February 2008: Caucuses meet in each precinct to choose delegates to the County Assemblies and District Conventions.

  • There is no formal system applied in the Precinct Caucus to relate the presidential preference of the participants to the choice of the precinct's delegates to the Colorado County Assemblies and District Conventions; however, a non-binding Presidential Preference poll of the delegates will be conducted. (NOTE: It is the District Conventions and the State Convention that will actually pledge Republican National Convention delegates to presidential contenders).
 

Friday 25 April - Saturday 17 May 2008 (tentative date): County Assemblies.

 

Saturday 24 May - Saturday 7 June 2008 (tentative date): Colorado's District Conventions.

Distict Caucuses choose the 21 National Convention Delegates (3 in each of Colorado's 7 Congression Districts) along with the district's delegates to the Colorado State Republican Convention.

  • There is no formal system applied in the District Caucus to relate the presidential preference of the District Caucus delegates to the choice of the election district's delegates to the National or State Republican Convention. The delegates in attendance at each District Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.
 

Saturday 31 May 2008: The Colorado State Republican Convention convenes. The State Convention chooses 22 of 46 delegates from Colorado to the Republican National Convention.

  • There is no formal system applied in the Convention to relate the presidential preference of the Convention delegates to the choice of the Convention's delegates to the Republican National Convention. The delegates in attendance at each Precinct Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor and, if so, how it is to be applied.

In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Colorado's Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.
