Statewide 
 

Delegates to the State Delegate Convention are elected from each county by the County Central Committee at least 10 days before the State Convention. [Montana Republican Party Bylaws. Section B - III. D]

Thursday 14 June - Saturday 16 June 2012: State Convention / State Delegate Convention. The convention elects the delegates to the Republican National Convention, and nominates Presidential Electors. [Section B - III. B. and F. 1) through 7)]

  • There is no formal system applied to relate the presidential preference of the participants to the choice of the delegates to the Republican Convention. The participants alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choice and, if so, how it is to be applied.

The 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of Montana's Republican Party, will by virtue of their position, attend the Republican National Convention as unbound delegates.
