County Delegate/Alternate Registration is Tonight!

Johnson County Democrats,

In order to serve as a delegate or alternate at the county convention this year, you must have been elected at your precinct caucus in February. In previous years, this was the only thing that needed to happen before you could participate in the convention. However, since this year’s convention will be held remotely, you must complete one more step before your role is guaranteed: you must register for the convention online before midnight tonight (April 17th). 

The Iowa Democratic Party sent registration emails to all duly-elected delegates and alternates on Monday, April 13th. If you are a delegate or alternate and have not yet registered, please check your inboxes for an email from county-conventions@iowademocrats.org. This email contains a link to a Google form that you can complete in no time at all. After you’ve filled it out, you are officially registered for the convention. If you can’t find it, please check your spam folder; your mail service provider may have marked it as a bulk mailing (Gmail occasionally categorizes IDP emails as “promotional” in my experience).

Delegates that do not register by the deadline will be replaced with an alternate, and alternates that do not register will be removed from the list of alternates. This is a rule set by the Iowa Democratic Party, and we cannot provide exceptions at the county level. 

We have been doing our best to reach those who still need to register, but we’re limited by the contact information they provided us on caucus night. You can help us by forwarding this article to anyone you think may still need to register for the 2020 county convention, especially if their phone number or email address has changed since February.

Our goal is 100% participation, even during a pandemic. Defeating Donald Trump in November is too important to shoot for anything less.

If you have any questions, please send them to democratsjohnsoncounty@gmail.com. We’re happy to help in any way that we can.
