Excerpts from 2020 Delegate Selection Process FAQ

First, the Democratic Party of Virginia (“DPVA”) called for a primary to be held on March 3, 2020.

Second, cities and counties across the Commonwealth will hold caucuses that will select 2,000 “State Delegates” to Congressional District Conventions and a State Convention. The State Delegates at the CD and State Conventions will then elect the National Delegates.

What are the types of delegates and how are they selected?

All delegates must openly commit to a candidate before the vote and are subject to review by that candidate.

District-Level Delegates – Virginia has 65 National Delegates that will be elected at the Congressional District Conventions to be held on May 2, 9 or 16, 2020. National Delegate candidates must file a statement of candidacy designating their presidential preference and a signed pledge of support the candidate five days prior to the District Convention. National Delegate candidates must run for election in the district in which they are registered to vote, and are subject to review by the candidate they support.

At-Large Delegates – Virginia has 21 National Delegates who will be selected At-Large at the State Convention on June 20, 2020. Candidates for At-Large National Delegate must also file a statement of candidacy designating the presidential preference and a signed pledge of support for the candidate five days in advance of the Convention.

Pledged Party Leaders and Elected Official (PLEO) Delegates – Virginia will elect 13 “Pledged PLEO” National Delegates at the State Convention on June 20, 2020. These positions are considered according to the following priority: big city mayors and state-wide elected officials, state legislative leaders, state legislators, and other state, county and local elected officials and party leaders.
