Conservatives in New Hampshire are making plans to hold a caucus on October 17, to which all registered New Hampshire Republicans and independents are invited. The specific location in New Hampshire will be chosen by the end of May. The hosts will have a list of the New Hampshire voter registered voters. The caucus will then allow all attendees to choose their favorite Republican presidential candidate. The voting will be in multiple stages, using the principles of ranked-choice voting. After the first ballot, the two presidential candidates who poll the fewest votes will be dropped. Successive voting rounds will continue to eliminate candidates.

The group hopes to use this event to give the winning candidate a chance to then present himself or herself as the choice of conservatives, in preparation for the January 2016 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary. The organizers realize the winner of their caucus might not be a conservative, but they are willing to run the risk. This project uses the name “The 603 Alliance.” The basis for the name is that New Hampshire’s area code is 603.
