Why Caucus Matters — And Why You Should Attend
Every two years, Republicans across Summit County gather for the most important night in grassroots politics: Neighborhood Caucus Night. This is where the power of the party returns to the people. It’s where neighbors in Park City, Kamas, and Coalville decide who will represent them.
This year’s Caucus Night is March 17, 2026. Doors open for check-in at 6:00 PM, and meetings begin promptly at 7:00 PM.
Find Your Neighborhood Meeting
Because Summit County is geographically diverse, we host meetings at three main hubs: North Summit High School, South Summit Middle School, and Ecker Hill Middle School. However, your specific meeting room and group are determined by your Precinct Number.
The best way to prepare is to visit the Official Utah Precinct Portal. By entering your address, the portal will:
Identify your specific Precinct Number.
Confirm your exact meeting location within Summit County.
Verify that your voter registration is current and listed as Republican.
Understanding the Roles
If you’ve never attended a caucus, think of it as a neighborhood election for your "Board of Directors." At the caucus, you will elect the people who vet our candidates. These roles are the backbone of the Utah GOP:
Precinct Chair & Officers: The local leaders who organize your neighborhood and sit on the County Central Committee.
State & County Delegates: These are the "gatekeepers." Before a candidate ever reaches a general election ballot, they must be vetted and voted on by delegates at the party conventions.
If you feel called to lead, you can Learn About Precinct Leadership and see if any of these positions are right for you. Standing up for your neighbors is the most direct way to impact the direction of our party.
Streamline Your Night: Pre-Register
While you can register at the door, we strongly encourage all Summit County Republicans to Pre-Register via the Precinct Portal Pre-Registration Tool.
Pre-registering does two things:
Speeds up the line: You’ll get a digital check-in pass that makes entry seamless.
Ensures Accuracy: It confirms you are in the right place so your vote counts.
Declare your Candidacy: You can sign up to be a precinct chair, state, or county delegate when you register.

Why Your Presence Matters
Caucus is grassroots politics at its purest. It isn't about grandstanding or national TV; it’s about neighbors talking to neighbors. If you care about the candidates who carry the Republican banner in Summit County, this is where your voice starts.
We look forward to seeing you on March 17th. Show up, get involved, and let’s shape the future of Summit County together.
When you Attend
Not just anyone can participate, so make sure you check your voting status by preregistering, bring your photo ID, proof of residence (if you recently moved), and most of all, bring a neighbor.
