Precinct Meeting FAQ's
What is the purpose of biennial precinct meetings?
Official Precinct meetings are held as required by Party rules. These meetings take place in odd numbered years and are announced and scheduled by the County Chairman. It is only during these meetings that official Party business may be conducted. Official business includes election of Precinct officers and drafting of any resolutions or suggested changes to the Platform or Party Rules.
The business of the Precinct meeting this year is to:
1. Elect new precinct officers for a 2-year term.
2. Elect delegates to represent the precinct at the County Convention (March 1).
3. Submit planks/amendments/changes to the Tulsa County GOP Platform, and recommend changes to the OKGOP State Party Rules and State Party Platform.
What if I am unable to attend the scheduled precinct meeting but would like to attend the county convention, March 1, 2025?
We understand you might be out-of-town, have a previous engagement, or possibly you are unwell making you unable to attend the precinct meeting in-person. An email must be sent to [email protected] requesting an Absentee Precinct Member Data Sheet to be completed and returned to the same email address [email protected], no later than 3:00 pm January 28, 2025.
If you do not attend your precinct meeting in-person, but would like to attend the county convention, March 1st, an Absentee Precinct Member Data Sheet must be requested and submitted to the Tulsa County GOP office (2816 E 51st St, Tulsa) by the close of business (3:00 pm) or by email to [email protected]. A completed Precinct Member Data Sheet is required from everyone wanting to attend the Tulsa County GOP convention, March 1, 2025.
I am currently the precinct chairman/vice-chairman and am unable to attend the precinct meeting in-person – do I get to remain the precinct chair?
No. Attendance at the January 28th precinct meeting is necessary to be elected as chair or vice-chair of your precinct (the purpose of the convention call). Should other precinct members attend the precinct meeting in-person and elect precinct leadership (chair/vice-chair), that elected leadership will be recognized and serve for the 2025/26 term. Should no precinct member(s) attend the in-person precinct meeting, leaving the precinct without leadership, a request can be made of the Tulsa County GOP Chairman to fill the empty position(s), following the Tulsa County GOP County Convention, March 1, 2025.
I’m being told I need to become a precinct chair. What exactly does that mean?
Being a good precinct chair comes with responsibilities. Precinct chair/vice-chair are the Republican representative(s) within their precinct. Building relationships and getting to know your Republican neighbors and promoting the Republican Party in your neighborhood is a key part of being a good precinct leader. Developing a precinct network will allow you to help influence the outcome of local, state, and national elections, as well as recruit potential candidates. As a precinct chair/vice-chair you sit on the County Committee and should attend all County Committee meetings. Roles and Responsibilities of a Precinct Chair
