Please Note ***
There will NOT be any nominations for state pre-primary Delegates accepted from the floor of the Lincoln County Convention. Therefore, all “Delegate Nominees” must sign a “self-nomination form” and deliver it (along with the $75.00 State Party fee) to the RPLC prior to 4:30 PM January 31.

Please go to the   Conventions   menu in the red bar at the top of this page to obtain the form and sign-up as a Delegate Nominee. The Delegates will be voted-on and selected from these nominees at the convention!

Mailing address:  Lincoln Tower, 1096 Mechem Suite 313, Ruidoso, NM 88345  ---  Hand Deliver: to any of these   OFFICERS

If ever you have said, "My vote doesn't count," or "My voice has never made a difference", then take the time to attend this convention and make your vote and your voice heard by having others elect you as a Delegate, or help others elect a Delegate that agrees with your ideas and beliefs. 

These Delegates will decide which Federal, Statewide and in some cases State Districted Candidates will get their name on the primary ballot and in what order - based on the 20% rule (if a candidate does not get a minimum of 20% of the delegate vote at the Pre-Primary Convention their name cannot appear on the primary election ballot).  There is another route - more signatures - however, NO CANDIDATE has ever won when forced to use the alternate route.
