2. Bring your own support (10-20 people to vote for you). Find people in your precinct boundaries who will support you and bring them to the caucus meeting. 

3. Come Early (at least 10 minutes). This will give you the opportunity to introduce yourself to new people, tell them you are interested in being a delegate, and ask for their support. 

4. Pick someone to nominate you. Delegates will be selected after the initial business. When the nominations are open someone else must nominate you.

5. Prepare your introduction statement. You'll likely be asked for a short speech. Be sure to state your name, where you live, and your support of the party platform. You should also mention your experience in party politics or other civic endeavours.
