If YOU are unable to attend your precinct caucus on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, but would still like to be considered for election to serve as a Delegate or Alternate to BPOU conventions, then please provide your full legal name, home address, email, and phone number, and indicate your choices on the right. Advance absentee nominations for persons other than yourself are not possible and cannot be accepted.

By submitting the form, you personally attest to each of the following:

  • I am eligible to vote in the next general election (November 3, 2026);
  • I live in the precinct;
  • I agree with the principles of the Republican Party of Minnesota; and
  • I will not participate in any other party or precinct's caucuses in 2026.

Please be prepared to respond to follow-up inquiries by or on behalf of The Senate District 45 Republicans, the designated Convener of your Precinct Caucus, or the current Chair of your Precinct.

If you wish to have a brief statement provided to the convener to read or present at the caucus, please send that information via email to [email protected] with the subject line "Absentee Nomination", and include your full legal name and precinct in the body of the email.  This does not satisfy the requirement to have your signed nomination form delivered to your caucus on caucus night.

If you prefer paper or did not submit before the Feruary 2, 2026 cutoff, ten please feel free to either:

  1. Print, sign, & submit the Early Absentee Nomination Form (which is no longer available because it was required to be submitted by the nominee IN ADVANCE of Caucus Night); or
  2. Print, sign, & submit the Caucus-Night Absentee Nomination Form and arrange for someone who IS attending the caucus to deliver it to the precinct caucus on your behalf.  We will also accept state party forms, but please note that the other forms may not indicate what position(s) you are seeking.

Best of luck in getting elected!

Failure to provide sufficient information to (a) confirm your geographic eligibility or (b) contact you if you are elected will nullify your nomination and any resulting election.
