Grayson County Democratic Party County Convention, March 22
Any Democrat in Grayson County who is registered to vote and has taken an oath of affiliation, or has voted in the Democratic Primary, is eligible to attend and participate. You may register online at http://register.txdemocrats.org, or at the door.
First, there will be activities to organize the convention, elect officers and appoint convention committees. The Convention performs its work through committees on Credentials, Rules, Nominations, and Resolutions with the Convention ratifying these committee reports. Attendees will caucus by precinct groups.
At this time, each precinct elects Delegates and Alternates to the State Convention. Each precinct is allocated a delegate and alternate for each full 300 votes the precinct cast for the Democratic nominee for Governor in 2010. Those precincts which had less than 300 votes cast are grouped together in clusters to allow these smaller precincts to elect delegates and alternates. All unallocated Delegates and Alternates that are unfilled after the precinct caucuses are determined by a Nominations Committee and ratified by the County Convention.
The County Convention adopts their reports and adopts resolutions that are forwarded to the State Democratic Convention and become the basis of developing the State Party Platform.
The convention will be in the West Courtroom of the Grayson County Courthouse in Sherman. To participate in the conventions of the Texas Democratic Party you must be affiliated with the Democratic Party. Register online at http://register.txdemocrats.org, or at the door.
