Delegates to the state convention meet both as a whole body and by state senatorial districts at every convention as well as by congressional districts in presidential years. See the Slide Show below.

Meeting as a whole, delegates to the state convention ratify the Party Rules, adopt a Party Platform, and elect the State Chairman and State Vice Chairman. In presidential years, they also ratify all delegates and alternates to the National Convention as well as the Presidential Electors. Additionally, a National Committeeman and National Committeewoman are elected.

Meeting in caucus by state senatorial district, delegates elect permanent caucus officers, permanent committee members, their State Republican Executive Committee members ("SREC") a Committeeman and a Committeewoman, and nominate candidates for State Chairman and State Vice Chairman.

Meeting by congressional caucus in Presidential years, state convention delegates elect delegates and alternates to the National Convention and elect a member to sit on the National Nominations Committee, which selects at-large delegates to the National Convention. In caucus, the delegates also elect Presidential Electors and nominate candidates for National Committeeman and Committeewoman.

Because of the immensity in size of the RPT State Convention, much work is done in temporary committees in the days leading up to the actual convention. At every state convention, there are these five temporary committees: Credentials, Organization, State Nominations, Platform, and Rules. The State Chairman appoints the committee chairmen. The SREC members appoint committee members. Each committee is comprised of the chairman and one member from each senate district. After the convention starts, senate districts will elect their permanent committee members, who will use the temporary committees' work as a starting point. All committee meetings are open to state convention delegates and alternates, who are encouraged to attend and testify on topics of particular interest to them.
