Do you want to become a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention
to be held in Philadelphia, PA from July 25 to 28?
The process to select Florida's delegates to the Convention works as follows:
The results of Florida's March 15, 2016 presidential primary election will be used to apportion delegates to the national convention. In the current US House District 6, (which includes all of St. Johns County, parts of Putnam County, all of Flagler County and the northern part of Volusia County) the allocation of delegates is as follows: 3 Clinton delegates (2 women and 1 man) and 2 Sanders delegates (1 woman and 1 man).
On May 7, 2016, grassroots Democrats from each of Florida's 27 congressional districts will meet in congressional district caucuses between the hours of 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM to elect 135 district-level delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The caucus for US House District 6 will be held at Volusia Teachers Organization, 1381 Educators Rd., Daytona Beach, FL 32124. Please note, if you wish to be a delegate you have to fill in a delegate form (see information below) and return it to the Florida Democratic Party office before April, 7, 2016 on which you state your preference for Clinton or Sanders. Then you will need to campaign for this position and to recruit a large number of registered Democrats to support you for this position and who are willing to travel with you to Daytona at this time to vote for you. Please note: At this election, Bernie supporters will have to vote for both one man and one woman on the ballot for your ballot to be counted. Hillary supporters will have to vote for two women and one man on your ballot for your ballot to be counted.
Following the congressional district caucuses, the Florida Democratic Party will hold a special meeting in Orlando, Florida, May 21, 2016, where the district-level delegates will meet to select 27 Pledged Party Leader and Elected Official (PLEO) Delegates, 45 At-Large Delegates, and 17 At-Large Alternates to the Democratic National Convention.
To take part in Florida's 2016 National Convention Delegate Selection Process, please complete the 2016 "District Level Delegate Filing Form" which is found on the following website: http://www.floridadems.org/our-party/national-convention. Any registered Democrat can apply to be a delegate, but those who have been active within the party will have a better chance of being elected because of their local supporters.

If you are interested in becoming a delegate candidate from the current US House District 6, which includes St. Johns County, please notify Nell or Annette at Democratic Headquarters, 904-825-2336. And you may want to talk with one of four 2012 delegates from St. Johns County who can inform you about their experience.
