The Precinct Committee shall cooperate with the County Executive Committee in all elections and Party
activities, provide the County Chairman with a list of Party members within the precinct suitable for

C. DUTIES OF OFFICERS
The Chairman of the Precinct Committee, with the advice and consent of the Precinct Committee, shall
have general supervision of the affairs of the Party within the precinct, shall preside at all meetings of
the Precinct, and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Precinct Committee or the
County Executive Committee. The Vice-Chairman shall function as Chairman in the absence of the
Chairman. The Secretary shall keep all minutes and records and shall maintain a list of registered
Republican voters and workers within the precinct, unless otherwise provided by the Precinct
Committee or the County Executive Committee.
The Chairman and Secretary of each Precinct shall certify the election of Officers, Committee members,
and Delegates and Alternates to the County Convention to the County Chairman. Complete credentials
shall be in the hands of the County Secretary by the deadline set by the County Chairman, which shall be
at least 2 days prior to the Credentials Committee meeting; provided, however, that when the Precinct
Meetings and the County Convention are held on the same day, the complete credentials shall be in
hands of the County Secretary at the time set by the County Chairman on that day. No Delegate or
Alternate shall be added to the credentials list following the adjournment of the Precinct Meeting. This

the candidate, stating the list will be used only for Republican activities related to the candidate's run for
office.

of 1/3 of the members of the Precinct Committee, or 10 members of the general Precinct membership.
