How Can I Become a Charlottesville Delegate at the Caucus? April 15th Deadline!
[4/15/2024— 5pm today is the deadline to apply to be a Delegate!]
Every Presidential election year, Democrats in each city and county must meet in a Caucus to elect Delegates to attend both the Congressional District Convention(s) and the State Convention and help elect Virginia’s delegation to the National Democratic Convention in August. The Charlottesville Democratic Committee (Cville Dems) calls and runs the Caucus, which is open to every Democrat registered to vote in the City of Charlottesville.
This year, Charlottesville Democrats need to elect 14 Delegates and 3 alternates to the 5th Congressional District Democratic Convention and to the DPVA State Convention.
Some frequently asked questions about this process are answered here… check it out!
