    County: Any registered voter in Arlington, who is in accord with the principles of the Republican Party, may file for any or all of the following positions:

    To file for any office, a voter must complete and sign the Arlington filing form and submit it, along with any applicable filing fee, to ACRC headquarters (405 S. Glebe Rd., Arlington 22204). Blank forms are available at headquarters, or may be downloaded (see box at right).

    The completed forms must be received by ACRC no later than Wed., Feb. 25, at 5 pm. Forms may be delivered to ACRC by hand (see map) or sent by mail, but postmarks do not govern. Forms may also be submitted to ACRC by fax (703-486-2059).

    Available positions and filing fees
    County Chairman1$70 (mandatory)
    County Committee member180$35 (mandatory)
    District Convention delegate895$20 (voluntary)
    State Convention delegate895$35 (voluntary)
    ACRC also requests a voluntary processing fee of $20 from persons filing for any position, to help cover administrative costs.

    Updated: If any of the positions had been contested, a party canvass would have been held on Saturday, March 13, for those positions. However, since no positions were contested by the close of the filing deadline, all persons who filed were elected at the County Committee meeting on February 26, and the party canvass was cancelled.

    Congressional District: The Eighth District Republican Convention will be held Saturday morning, May 15, at Edison High School in Franconia. The Convention will nominate the Republican candidate for Congress to take on Jim Moran this fall. The Convention will also elect a District chairman, 3 members of the Republican State Central Committee, 3 delegates and 3 alternates to the Republican National convention, and a Presidential elector. Arlington is authorized to send up to 895 delegates to the District Convention. (See more information on the District Convention.)

    NOTE: Only those who signed up for the 8th District Convention by the Arlington filing deadline (Feb. 25) are eligible to be voting delegates at the District Convention on May 15.

    Statewide: The Virginia Republican State Convention will be held June 4-5 in Richmond. That convention will elect a State chairman, 2 members of the Republican National Committee, 28 delegates and 28 alternates to the Republican National convention, and 2 Presidential electors. Arlington is authorized to send up to 895 delegates to the State Convention.

    NOTE: Only those who signed up for the State Convention by the Arlington filing deadline (Feb. 25) are eligible to be voting delegates at the State Convention on June 4-5.

    Questions about the filing form, canvass or conventions? Please call or write, and we're happy to respond. ACRC wants to make sure that all Arlington Republicans have every opportunity to participate fully in this year's party activities.
