Caucus Process
The caucus will be presided over by Indiana Republican Party State Chairman Kyle Hupfer.
Each candidate will be recognized in alphabetical order and given two minutes for someone to speak on their behalf as a way of introduction and three minutes to speak on their own behalf.
Votes cast will be done by secret ballot and tallied by two tellers designated by the State Chairman.
Each candidate may designate one person to serve as a watcher on the candidate’s behalf during the tabulation of votes.
If a majority of 50 percent plus 1 of eligible voters present and voting is reached on the first ballot, a winner will be declared.
If no candidate receives a majority vote on the first ballot, the person (or persons in the case of a tie) with the lowest number of votes will be dropped and a second ballot conducted.
This process will continue until a candidate receives the required majority vote.
