RE: 2016 Iowa Democratic District Conventions
Iowa Democrats will hold our district conventions this Saturday, April 30, 2016. District convention date and times are set forth by the delegate selection plan. All four district conventions begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, and the locations can be found here.
District conventions are an important step in the Iowa Democratic Party’s delegate selection process that began on February 1st, 2016. They are an example of dedicated, grassroots work at its finest as the party builds up to the state and national conventions. Both Democratic campaigns are responsible for organizing and motivating their delegates to solidify support.
At
the
District
conventions,
delegates
will
elect
29
delegates
to
the
Democratic
National
Convention
and
4
Alternates.
Congressional
districts
1
and
2 will each elect 8 national delegates.
Congressional district 3 will elect 7 national delegates, and
Congressional district 4 will elect 6 national delegates. Each district
elects 1 alternate.
The Congressional District Delegation breakdown can be found on the grid below.
Pursuant with the delegate selection plan, any registered Democrat who lives in the district can be elected as a national delegate at their district convention, as long as they completed this petition and submitted it to the State Chair, by April 18th, 2016 (12 days before the District convention), or to the chair of their district's rules and nominations committee the day of the convention no more than 15 minutes following the completion of the credentials committee report. A more-detailed description of the petition process can be found here.
It’s important to remember that only duly-elected District Delegates (elected at County Conventions on March 12) may vote on National Delegates.
Just like at the precinct caucuses and county conventions, delegates will be elected by presidential preference. Viability is 15%, and delegates will be assigned proportionate to the percentage of district delegates in each preference group. This is the same process the IDP has had for decades.
Just like with the precinct caucuses and the county conventions, the presidential campaigns must organize their supporters to attend the district conventions in order to elect national delegates.
Reminder: Twenty-nine of Iowa’s 44 pledged national delegates will be elected at the district conventions on April 30th. The other fifteen pledged national delegates will be elected at our state convention on June 18th. Iowa will also send seven (7) unpledged delegates to the National Convention for a total delegation of 51 delegates and 4 alternates.* District delegates are eligible to attend both the district and state conventions--no additional state delegates are elected at the district conventions. Just like at county conventions, district and state delegates are not bound per our long-standing delegate selection rules.Here’s a look back at the county convention results:
Clinton State/District Delegates | Sanders State/District Delegates | O’Malley State/District Delegates | Uncommitted State/District Delegates | |
CD 1 | 193 | 195 | 0 | 0 |
CD 2 | 179 | 193 | 0 | 0 |
CD 3 | 183 | 169 | 1 | 1 |
CD 4 | 146 | 141 | 0 | 0 |
Satellite Caucuses (determined on caucus night) | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Tele-Caucus (determined on caucus night) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
TOTAL | 704 | 700 | 1 | 1 |
Other district convention business: In addition to the election of national delegates and alternates, district delegates will also debate and ratify the district platform, elect members to the State Central Committee, elect a district Affirmative Action chair, and other party business.
*One of Iowa's Unpledged PLEOs, Linda Langston, recently resigned from the Executive Council of the National Association of Counties (NACo), a position which had made her a DNC Member, and subsequently, an Unpledged PLEO. So instead of 8 Unpledged PLEOs, Iowa now has 7.
