Answer

At each Precinct Caucus, Precinct Delegates and Alternates are elected to serve two-year terms until the next Precinct Caucus. Delegates and twice as many Alternates are allocated to each Precinct based on the number of votes that were cast in the Precinct for the Republican Party's endorsed candidate for Governor or President in the most recent completed general election.

Precinct Delegates represent their Precinct at their basic political organizing unit conventions and, in certain circumstances, other local unit conventions. Service as a delegate allows you to directly influence politics in your state Senate (45) and House (45A, 45B) districts through voting on candidate endorsements, electing party leadership and delegates and alternates for higher level (Congressional District and State) conventions, and changes to party rules.
