Voters Welcome at Williamson County Libertarian Conventions on March 13 & 17
Williamson County Libertarians will be holding their precinct and county conventions on March 13 and 17 respectively to nominate candidates for the November general election. All voters who reside in Williamson County are eligible to vote in the conventions.
“Over 18,000 Williamson County residents voted for at least one Libertarian candidate in 2010, but most voters still don’t realize that they can cast a ballot in the Libertarian conventions. We welcome all Williamson County voters to participate and learn more about the Libertarian Party,” said Libertarian County Chair Bo Zimmerman. ”We nominate our candidates by convention. We find this process much more cost-effective and efficient compared to the taxpayer-funded Republican and Democratic primaries. Libertarians qualify to use the primary system, but we prefer to take responsibility for own conventions.”
On Tuesday, March 13 at 7:00PM, the Libertarian Party will hold its precinct conventions at Pok-E-Joe’s Smokehouse, 1202-C N. IH-35 in Round Rock. During precinct conventions, precinct chairs and delegates to the county convention are elected.
On Saturday, March 17 at 6:00PM, the Williamson County Libertarian Party will hold its county convention at the Round Rock Public Library, 216 E Main Ave in Round Rock. During the county convention, nominees will be chosen for partisan elected offices within Williamson County, such as Constable, Commissioner, and Justice of the Peace. Delegates will also be selected to represent Williamson County at the state convention.
It is unclear if the current re-districting court battle will be resolved before March 17, and how this uncertainty will affect the nomination process.
Williamson County Libertarians meet on the second Tuesday of every month at Pok-E-Joe’s Smokehouse, 1202-C N. IH-35 in Round Rock at 7PM.
