Yep. Just show up at your precinct convention (the same place where election day voting takes place) right before the polls close tonight at 7pm. Be sure to bring a digital and/or 3 printed copies (to make life easier on the precinct chair) of any resolutions you'd like to send to the county convention and be sure to nominate yourself to be a delegate at the county convention. Also, if you bring your voting registration card with the stamp showing that you voted in today's GOP primary that will make it easier on the precinct chair and/or precinct convention secretary as they won't have to verify with the election judge that you're eligible to participate in the precinct convention.

Went to my precinct convention last night. It was held in a conference room at a local credit union. There were 7 precincts holding meetings in the building - spread out across two rooms. There were maybe 20 people there total. Some precincts had no one show up (just the precinct captain/leader). A family member and I were half the contingent for my precinct. Our precinct is large enough to have been allotted 50 delegates to the county convention. Looks like I won't have any problem being selected as a delegate to state if I want to go (and participate in the Presidential Straw Poll, FWIW).

I am a delegate too for county.

I went to my GOP county convention on Saturday. It was a really small affair compared to 2012 - maybe half as many people in attendance. Our county was eligible to send 140 delegates and 140 alternates to the state convention. We had 128 delegates make the final list (and no alternates). Pretty much everyone who showed up and wanted to go made the delegate list. We had the delegate slate business done before lunch (which was great because I left at that time and didn't stick around for the platform/resolutions debates in the afternoon).

I got to hear speeches from a few candidates in some local (county) run-off races and I got to talk to several of them individually as we were all milling about too.

I was also really glad to see a bunch of liberty minded folks (Ron Paul supporters) that I met in 2012 still being involved and planning to go to the State convention again.

Probably everyone here knows this already, but for those delegates attending the convention, there is an agenda posted here:
