  1. Each county is divided up into precincts. Each precinct can vote for 2 representatives to represent the party. This occurs during the primary. Those selected individuals then have the opportunity to vote for county delegates. The county delegates then vote for state delegates to go to the national convention.

    It is usually a 2 year term of service.


  2. I can't be certain this is how Arkansas picks them, but this is how Texas does it.

    First, understand this.  An elector is not a delegate to a convention, though he probably attended the state convention.   An elector is the person who votes in the Electoral College for president.

    Each state is allocated, according to the previous census, a certain number of electors.  The number of electors is equal to the number of U.S. Senators and Congressmen from that state.

    Most states are "Winner takes All", meaning that the candidate for president with the largest number of votes gets all of that states elector positions.

    In Texas, each political party chooses its potential Electors at the State Convention.  When you vote for president, you are really voting to pick that party's set of electors.

    The Electors are chosen at large and by (state)senatorial districts.  Each district is able to choose one elector.
