If you want to be elected as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, you must attend either the Congressional District Convention or the State Convention (or both), as well as your Precinct Caucus and County Convention. You cannot be elected in absentia, nor are proxies allowed at any stage of the process.
What's the difference between an Assembly and a Convention? Conventions happen only in presidential election years and serve to either elect delegates to further Conventions, or to nominate the candidate for president of the United States in the National Convention, as determined by national rules. Assemblies happen every 2 years and serve to nominate candidates for county and state elective offices, as well as to write the Party Platform, as determined by state rules.
Volunteer for the Democratic National Convention By now you've probably heard that Denver has won the right to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention. If you'd like to volunteer, the convention committee needs skills in organizing, recruting, and fund-raising. You can sign-up as a volunteer right from the Colorado State Democratic Party site. |
