Good Evening ,

Would you like to support your candidate at the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, WI? Apply to become a delegate! District-Level delegate applications (Form A) will only be accepted until 8:00 PM on March 3, 2020.

What is a District-Level Delegate? 
Each of California’s 53 congressional districts (CDs) are allocated a number of district-level delegates and alternates, based upon population and presidential voting from the 2012 & 2016 elections. Potential candidates for district-level delegates must be a registered Democrat and submit Form A, pledging their support to a presidential candidate, during the filing period of January 6, 2020- March 3, 2020. Caucuses will be held April 19, 2020 in each CD where Democrats registered in the CD will be able to vote to slate delegates. Presidential vote levels per CD in the primary will determine which district-level delegates are selected, based on the caucus rankings. Find out more about the California Democratic Party’s Delegate Selection process here.

Register: You must be a registered Democrat to file. You can verify your registration online at https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/

Check Your District: You will need to determine the congressional district (CD) where you are registered. If you aren’t sure which district you are in, go to http://www.house.gov/, enter your postal zip code at the top right-hand corner of the website, and it will give you your Congressional District as well as the Representative for your district.

File: APPLY HERE. You may fill out Form A online or request a paper application from California Democratic Party Staff. When filing Form A, you must pledge your support for one presidential candidate. However, should your chosen candidate drop out of the presidential race prior to the Form A filing deadline of March 3, 2020 at 8:00 pm, you have the option to re-file Form A and pledge your support to one of the remaining candidates. But you must refile for a different candidate by March 3, 2020 at 8:00 PM!

Caucus: You and your supporters will need to attend your presidential candidate’s caucus on Sunday, April 19, 2020. Remember, people can arrive early, sign in, and cast a vote -- they don’t have to stick around to hear the speeches. Caucus times and locations will be posted at http://www.cadem.org/our-party/national-convention when available.

Candidates will be slated by caucus vote totals, though the final results will not be made public until the results are certified by the State Party. Once the primary results are in, the presidential campaign committee and the CDP will notify and confirm all the winners in each district based on how many delegates each presidential candidate is allocated by primary vote totals.

These elected delegates will join the California Delegation at the mandatory May 17 Statewide Delegation Meeting in Sacramento, California and the Democratic National Convention (July 13-16) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
