Colorado Republicans are committed to investing in new technologies in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the upcoming 2012 elections. We are pleased to announce a new caucus registration website that will not only allow caucus goers to find their caucus location, but also allow attendees to pre-register.

Montrose County Republicans are encouraged to pre-register for the February 7th Caucus (see details below about the Caucus) but it is optional.

Please visit www.caucus.cologop.org to Pre-Register for February 7th Caucus and determine your Caucus location!
  

In order to have an earlier voice in the Republican Presidential Nomination process, Colorado Republicans have moved their precinct caucuses up to Tuesday, February 7, 2012 beginning at 7:00pm.

One of the main objectives of these caucuses is to conduct a Presidential Preference poll to determine which Republican candidate Colorado favors in the 2012 Republican nomination process.  Every Republican participant at the caucuses throughout the State of Colorado will have the opportunity to vote their preference for one of the Republican candidates for the 2012 Presidential election.  Results are anticipated to be broadcast during the 10:00pm news the evening of the caucuses.  

In Montrose County, these caucuses will take place at 4 locations throughout the County - 19 precincts (#1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, & 27) in the City of Montrose area will come together at Montrose High School, 3 Olathe precincts (#12, 13, & 28) will meet at the American Legion facility, 5 West-End precincts (#5, 8, 10, 15, & 16) will meet at the Naturita Library, and the Maher precinct (#11) will meet at the Maher School Community Building.  During the caucuses in participants will elect 2 Precinct Committeepersons along with delegates and alternates to the Montrose County Assembly.  Delegates and Alternates to higher level districts as well as the State Assembly will be chosen from this pool of County Delegates and Alternates at the Montrose County Assembly on March 17th at Centennial Middle School in Montrose.

To simplify the registration process and reporting requirements of the caucuses Montrose County will be participating in the newly developed Colorado Republican Caucus and Assembly System (CRCAS).  The CRCAS program includes a process by which participants to the precinct caucuses are able to pre-register online for their particular caucus.  This will greatly speed up the process of checking people in during the caucus itself on the evening of February 7th.  Instructions for how to pre-register are shown above on this page of the website.  Republican participants are strongly encouraged to preregister online, but this will not be a requirement to participate.

The last day to affiliate with the Republican Party to be able to participate in the caucuses was December 7th.  The last day to establish residency is January 9, 2012.  If you have moved recently, or since the last caucus, please go to the County Clerk's office and inform them of your new address so that you can participate in the caucus for your new address.
