2024 Virgin Islands Republican caucus

As part of the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, the Republican Party in the Virgin Islands will hold a caucus using ranked-choice voting to give Virgin Islanders a say in the nomination campaign.

The caucus will also serve as the regularly scheduled election of certain party leadership and officer positions.

Separate from the caucus, six delegates and six alternate delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention will be chosen to represent the territory at the convention that formally nominates the candidates for president and vice president, adopts a national platform and approves national rules for the party.

To conduct the 2024 Virgin Islands caucus, a set of rules was adopted to govern the caucus and delegate selection process. The key dates and points are as follows:

Administering the caucus is the Caucus Committee.
The caucus date is February 8, 2024 with voting precincts on St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas.
The caucus ballot will include four contests: the Republican nomination for president of the United States, national committeewoman, national committeeman, five members of the Republican State Committee from the electoral district of St. Croix, and five members of the Republican State Committee from the electoral district of St. Thomas-St. John.
Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Doug Burgum, Ron DeSantis, Perry Johnson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, and Donald J. Trump qualified for the ballot before the September 30, 2023, filing deadline. Additional candidates may qualify after September 30, 2023, and before January 1, 2024, with payment of a $50,000 fee.
Candidates for national committeewoman and national committeeman must file by the ninetieth calendar day preceding the caucus.
Candidates for Republican State Committee must file by the sixtieth calendar day preceding the caucus.
In the election for the Republican nomination for president of the United States, the caucus will utilize preferential voting, also known as ranked-choice voting. For more information on preferential voting, visit this website.
Absentee and mail-in voting is generally not allowed. Active-duty military stationed outside the Virgin Islands may be granted an absentee ballot.
The six delegates and six alternate delegates representing the Virgin Islands at the 2024 Republican National Convention will be elected by the Delegate Selection Committee. The committee consists of the party's chairman, the national committeewoman elected in the 2024 caucus, the national committeeman elected in the 2024 caucus, the party's executive director, and the party's Finance Committee chairman.
The six elected delegates and three automatic delegates (party chairman, national committeeman, and national committeewoman) will be awarded proportionally, unless a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote. A candidate receiving more than 50 percent will receive all nine delegates. The nine delegates are bound through to the first round of voting.
