Calling All Democrats!
If you are interested in Democratic politics, the upcoming presidential election and policy, this Convention is for you!
On March 28th at Noon the Mercer County Democratic Executive Committee will hold a Democratic County Convention at Bluefield State College at the Cafeteria in the Student Union on the top floor. Registration will start at noon. To participate you must be registered to vote as a Democrat in Mercer County. Please bring your voter registration card if you have it so we can place you in your magistrate district group. Bluefield State College is located at 219 Rock St in Bluefield WV. This is the first building on Campus when you enter off Pulaski Street. The cafeteria is on the top floor.
During the Convention, an official Convention Chair and Secretary will be elected and attendees will elect 40 County Delegates to represent Mercer County at the State Convention in Charleston on June 12 & 13th.
We encourage all registered Mercer County Democrats to get involved in the Democratic process and attend this important event. This convention is important because those elected as a County Delegates will go to Charleston in June and will vote for the people who represent our state at the Democratic National Convention in July.
The delegates to the National Convention are selected during the State Convention by the County Delegates. The people’s vote for president on the primary ballot will determine how many delegates each presidential candidate receives from West Virginia.
The County Convention is open to all registered Democrats in Mercer County.
County Conventions are mandated by the West Virginia State Executive Committee. A county must hold a convention every Presidential election. At the State Convention, Delegates will also approve the Party Platform and elect five representatives to the Electoral College.
