Amend Article VIII, Section D by adding (7), to
read:
ARTICLE VIII: VOTING AND PROXIES
Section D. Proxies
Any voting member desiring to vote by proxy shall
designate his proxy in writing which shall specify the
meeting and be dated, signed, witnessed and
submitted to and approved by the Credentials
Committee.
1. The proxy shall apply to a single meeting.
2. The individual designated as a proxy shall be a

6. At the discretion of the Credentials Committee,
check in procedures may be substituted for the roll
call as required by this section.
7. A maximum cumulative total of three (3) proxy
votes may be designated to a single individual per
meeting.

Effect
Restricts proxy holders to 3 proxies per
meeting; previously, unlimited number of
proxies could be assigned to 1 person.
Guidance from Roberts Rules of Order, Newly
Revised, 11th Edition, on proxy voting:
Page 423
It is a fundamental principle of
parliamentary law that the right to
vote is limited to membership of an
organization who are actually present
at the time the vote is taken.
Page 428-429
A proxy is a power of attorney given
by one person to another to vote in
his stead. Ordinarily it should neither
be allowed nor required because
proxy voting is incompatible with the
essential characteristics of a
deliberative assembly in which
membership is individual, personal,
and non-transferable.

Procedures to elect such presidential electors as

allocated.
All candidates for Presidential Elector must file a notice
of intent to run for Presidential Elector with the CRC
Chairman in writing. Such notice of intent must be
received by the CRC Chairman or his designee by mail,
facsimile, electronic transmission or hand delivery on a
form and in such manner as may be designated by the
Chairman or in such other manner as may be
designated by the CRC Chairman, no later than thirteen
(13) days prior to the state convention in which the
candidate for Presidential Elector desires to stand for
election. To be eligible to be selected as a Presidential
Elector the candidate must have been eligible to
participate in the precinct caucus held that same year,
must have been continuously registered as a
Republican elector in the state on the date of the
precinct caucus until the date of the convention.
Presidential Electors shall be elected on a single ballot.
Each convention delegate shall be entitled to vote for
the total number of Presidential Electors to be elected.
Those candidates receiving the highest number of
votes shall be elected as Presidential Electors.
There shall be no distinction made for the presidential
preference of the candidate for Presidential Elector.
Candidates for Presidential Elector shall pay a fee for
ballot access. Amount of fee shall be assessed by the
Colorado Republican State Executive Committee not to
exceed one-hundred dollars ($100).
Ties of consequence shall be broken by lot.
In the event an elector is unable to serve, such elector
will be replaced by the next ranked person elected at
the state convention. If there are not sufficient persons
who received votes at the state convention then the
Executive Committee shall elect another person who
qualifies to serve as an elector.

Effect
Presidential Electors are elected members of the
Electoral College. Each states electors cast their
individual votes for President and Vice President,
based on the results of their states popular vote
for those offices. They may be pledged to a
candidate, but not required. Colorado has 9
Electoral College votes. The presidential /vice
presidential candidates who win a majority of
Electoral College votes are elected to office.
Colorado Revised Statute governs the process for
election of Presidential Electors.

C.R.S. 1-4-302 (2015)

1-4-302. Party nominations to be made
by convention
(1) Any convention of delegates of a
political party or any committee
authorized by resolution of the
convention may nominate presidential
electors.
(2) All nominations for vacancies for
presidential electors made by the
convention or a committee authorized
by the convention shall be certified by
affidavit of the presiding officer and
secretary of the convention or
committee.
Customarily, the Chairman of the CRC offered a
resolution at the state convention to create a
committee to appoint presidential electors.
The new, candidate-funded process would allow
for greater rank-and-file participation in the
election of presidential electors.

ARTICLE XII: PRECINCT CAUCUSES
Section C. Procedure
4. a. For precinct caucuses occurring in the year in
which a national convention is to be held and a
presidential candidate is to be nominated, or
occurring in the year in which any candidate for
statewide office is to be nominated, a non-binding
preference poll shall be conducted for such offices
and candidates as the CRC Executive Committee
may direct as part of the business of each precinct
caucus meeting, except that the CRC Executive
Committee may direct that no preference poll be
conducted. The preference poll shall be conducted
and results reported in a manner as shall be
provided by the Chairman or the Executive
Committee. Only eligible precinct caucus
participants may participate in any preference poll.
b. In no event, however, shall the results of any
preference poll dictate or require the proportional
allocation or representation of delegates chosen
for any county assembly, higher assembly or
convention, or bind such delegates as may be
chosen to vote for any particular candidate. The
participants at each precinct caucus, or at any
caucus, assembly, or convention of any county or
district, alone shall determine if the results of any
preference poll are to be a factor in the selection of
individual delegates or alternates to any higher
assembly or convention, and no candidate for
delegate or alternate for any higher assembly or
convention shall be compelled or required to
identify the candidate he or she is pledged to
support, but may do so at his or her option.

Section C. Procedure
b. No preference poll of any kind shall be
conducted if it dictates or requires the binding

are to be a factor in the selection of individual
delegates or alternates to any higher assembly
or convention and no candidate for delegates or
alternate for any higher assembly or convention
shall be compelled or required to identify the
candidate he or she is pledged to support, but
may do so at his or her option.

Effect
Addresses the new Republican National
Committee Rule 16(a)(1) which requires the
binding of delegates if a statewide preference
poll is conducted.
RULES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
RULE NO. 16
Election, Selection, Allocation, or
Binding of
Delegates and Alternate Delegates
(a) Binding and Allocation.
(1) Any statewide presidential
preference vote that permits a
choice among candidates for the
Republican nomination for President
of the United States in a primary,
caucuses, or a state convention must
be used to allocate and bind the states
delegation to the national convention
in either a proportional or winner-takeall manner, except for delegates and
alternate delegates who appear on a
ballot in a statewide election and are
elected directly by primary voters.
Pledging to a candidate is voluntary; binding is
mandatory.
Allows each delegate to determine, for
themselves, whether to pledge to a candidate
or not.

in nomination, or the candidate does not
otherwise qualify for nomination under the
rules of the Republican National Convention,
the individual National Delegates and National
Alternate Delegates previously pledged are
released to cast their ballots as each may
choose, or the CRC Chairman or his designee
shall allocate and cast the delegate votes to
the remaining candidates as if the eliminated
candidate had failed to qualify.

on all ballots for other purposes the individual
delegates are released to cast their ballots as

with the pledge of support made by each
National Delegate on their notice of intent to
run, or in accordance with the numbers
allocated to each qualifying candidate by the
presidential primary election and these

not placed in nomination, or the candidate
does not otherwise qualify for nomination
under the rules of the Republican National
Convention, the individual National Delegates
and National Alternate Delegates previously
pledged are released to cast their ballots as
each may choose.

Effect
Removes the ability of the CRC Chairman or his
designee to cast a ballot at the Republican
National Convention for any national delegate.
Delegates are responsible for their own vote.
The Chairman or his designee should never
have authority to appropriate a delegates vote
under any circumstances.
This provision is the reason for 8 votes of
abstention in the Colorado delegation at the
2012 RNC Convention.
If delegates had tried to cast their votes for any
candidate other than Romney, the CRC
Chairman could have allocated and cast their
votes for Romney anyway.
