		<description>Please note: B114A appears to be a long proposal.  Any amendment must be proposed in final format with all changes listed. Please read below for the final language of Bylaw 1, if this amendment is adopted. 

The actual Proposed Amendment has the supporting language struck regarding any other method of allocating state delegates other than strictly to the precincts.

&lt;ul&gt;Proposed final format&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Bylaw 1 ­ Allocation of State Republican Party Convention Delegates &lt;/strong&gt;
A.	General  

   1.	The Utah State Republican Party Central Committee allocates the number of State Delegate positions to each County. It is the responsibility of the Utah County Republican Party to distribute its allocation in a manner which recognizes the following:

     a.	Allocation to Voting Precincts Caucuses in a proportion representing the number of Republican votes cast in each Voting Precinct for the four Republican Statewide Officers in the last gubernatorial election.
     b.	Each precinct shall have no fewer than one State Delegate.

   2.	“Caucus Delegates” shall mean those persons who, in their Voting Precinct Caucuses, are nominated by election to represent the precinct as delegates at the state convention.


   3.	When an allocation of delegates is received from the State Republican Party Central Committee, the allocation within Utah County shall be computed as stated in this bylaw and shall be listed as an attachment hereto.  The attachment         shall be updated as needed to conform with this bylaw.  All such updates shall be reviewed by the Executive Committee        to ensure the attachment accurately reflects the allocation made herein.  The allocation of the delegate positions in        Utah County will be distributed for nominations based on the following formulas:

     a.	Caucus Delegate Formula:

      i. One delegate nomination to each Voting Precinct Chair. If the Voting Precinct Chair declines the nomination of State  Delegate at the caucus, the caucus shall elect another person to fill that nomination.

     ii. Nomination for additional state delegates allocated to Utah County shall be apportioned to the Voting Precinct Caucuses pro rata based upon Republican votes cast for statewide (Governor/Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General) elective offices in the last gubernatorial election.

     b.	Nomination and Formal Selection of Delegates. Delegates will be nominated by election at the Voting Precinct Party Caucuses.

   4.	Recognizing that Caucus delegates may die, resign, or move from the county, the following rule shall apply for replacing delegates:

     a.	If the delegate was nominated at a Voting Precinct Caucus or appointed by the Precinct Chair pursuant to this provision to replace a delegate nominated at a Voting Precinct Caucus, the Voting Precinct Chair may nominate a replacement up until the deadline established by the Steering Committee.</description>
