Bylaw
Proposed Amendment to the Cache County Republican Party Bylaws
Proposed change underlined in Red:
(9C.1) MULTIPLE BALLOT METHOD: The election will have a maximum of three rounds until one
candidate receives a majority vote. If there are four or more candidates, the first round narrows the
field to three, and subsequent rounds drop one candidate each time. Immediately after each round of
voting and before moving to the next round, the number of ballots cast for and the percentage of the
vote earned by each candidate shall be announced to the convention. In the event the final two
candidates tie at 50% a coin toss shall determine the winner.
Reasons:
Announcing vote totals after each round is integral to the multiple ballot voting method. It
ensures transparency and allows for poll watching. The body can double check that no more ballots
were cast than were credentialed, and that the number of votes add up. Mistakes can happen even
with honest people doing their best. In addition, seeing voting totals can factor in to delegates’ voting
strategy for the next round.

Speakers are limited to 2 minutes each. Speakers may ask the person proposing the bylaw change questions, who may give short responses.

8. Speakers face the chair when making motions, and may face the body when presenting information.
9. Affiliates may exhibit and distribute literature inside the foyer of the venue without charge.

Voting Threshold
Bylaw 9A: All matters to be voted upon by any committee established by these By-laws or any convention or precinct caucus shall be by majority vote of those present and authorized to vote, unless otherwise specified herein.
Bylaw 10B: These By-laws may be amended at any time by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of qualified voting members or delegates present at a regular or specifically called County Central Committee meeting or County Convention, respectively.
Voting Percentage Calculation
Due to 9A requiring a “majority vote of those present,” Roberts Rules 44:7-9 requires the denominator of the percentage calculation include all credentialed voters in the hall at the time of the vote. To comply with this requirement, the chair will ask if everyone has voted before closing balloting so the ballot count is the Denominator.
Bylaw 2A: A quorum for the Central Committee shall be 50 members, or a majority of precincts represented.
The MISSION of the Cache GOP is to get our Platform into government, by promoting and defending the Constitution through finding, electing and supporting principled Republicans through the caucus-convention system and through media, social events, training and education.
