Attend your Ward Caucus to be a delegate for MA Democratic Convention

For those who are interested in getting a up-close view of politics in Massachusetts, the state's Democratic party is having its caucuses this month.

The caucuses will be held to elect delegates and alternates to the 2010 Massachusetts Democratic Convention. Delegates will be divided equally between men and women.

Please see this Excel listing for dates, times, and locations of your Ward's caucus.

For my Boston folks, almost half of them are this Saturday, February 13th; with most in the following week.

The convention will be held on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5, at the DCU Center in Worcester. At that time Democrats from across the state will gather to endorse statewide candidates and adopt a party platform.

The caucus is open to all registered Democrats in their respective ward. All ballots will be written and secret. Those not elected as delegates and/or alternates, who meet the qualifications, may apply to be add-on delegates in the following categories: youth, minority, and disabled.

Challenges to the delegate selection process can be filed with the Massachusetts Democratic Party, 56 Roland St., Suite 203, Boston, MA 02129 no later than 10 days after the caucus date.

Holla.
