How do I vote?
To vote in these Conventions, you must be a “State Delegate”. Delegates are elected once and are representatives to both the District and State Conventions. If you are not sure if you can attend the conventions, you may register as an “Alternate”. Alternates fill in any vacancies in the delegation.
To be a delegate or alternate:
- You must complete an application before be 5:00 p.m., Saturday, April 13, 2024,
- (Optionally) Pay the $25 administrative filing fee to help cover the cost of the conventions.
Fairfax County is allocated 202 delegates and 50 alternates; the City of Fairfax is allocated 6 delegates and 2 alternates.
The deadline to apply to be a voting delegate has passed. The pre-filing form for those interested in filling a vacancy has been closed.
How do I run to be a National Delegate or Elector?
At both the District Convention and State Convention, we will be electing National Delegates to attend the 2024 National Convention from August 19-22 in Chicago. Delegates participate in the formal nomination process for President and adoption of the party platform. We will also elect Electors to cast Virginia’s votes to the Electoral College on December 17 in Richmond.

- At the 11th CD District Convention, you must apply by 5 pm on Friday, April 26, 2024
- At the State Convention, you must apply by 5 pm on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
