February 7, 2012 Presidential Preferential Primary

Missouri registered voters can participate in the February 7, 2012 Presidential Preferential Primary.
At the primary election the voter must identify which political party ballot they choose. Only established political parties in Missouri may participate in the presidential primary. Those established political parties in Missouri are the Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, and Constitution.
After the election the Secretary of State notifies state political parties of the number of votes received by each candidate and uncommitted. It is these results that will determine the number of delegates to the respective National Political Party Conventions this summer. It is at these conventions that the candidate for that party will be selected to run for President.
Procedures for February 7, Presidential Preferential Primary

Choose ballot for your political party (Democratic, Libertarian, Constitution and Republican)

Vote for a candidate or uncommitted listed on the ballot.

Candidates for the Presidential Preferential Primary
However, this year the Missouri Republican Party has decided to by-pass the results of the primary and select delegates at caucuses held on March 17, 2012. Caucuses are held in counties (includes the City of St. Louis) and in Townships (i.e. political jurisdiction) in St. Louis County. Delegates and alternates will be elected to attend congressional district conventions and the state convention.
Missouri State Statutes and Party Rules prevail throughout the process.
State Statute 115.625 says Party state committees may call conventions, elect delegates and presidential electors and perform other acts within the law.

Procedures for March 17, 2012 Republican Caucuses

Locate the place for the caucus in your county/township.

Only residents registered to vote in the City of St. Louis (where a single meeting will be held) or in the Township are allowed to vote in the local caucus.

Procedures for voting on delegates and alternates will be decided. Delegates and alternates will be allocated on a proportional basis.

Delegates and alternates will be elected to attend congressional district conventions and the state convention of the Republican Party.
