Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be a delegate?

As a delegate, you’re allowed to vote on resolutions, candidate endorsements (house and senate), delegate elections for the congressional and state conventions (where you can then vote on endorsements for congressional and state candidates), and local party leadership.

I’m an alternate, what does that mean?

You are eligible to be “upgraded” during the convention to full delegate status if there are open delegate spots your precinct. Usually, the chances are fairly high that you can be upgraded to delegate status.

What should I bring?

Please bring proof of vaccination (your vaccination card, a picture of your vaccination card, or the Docket app are all accepted) or proof of a negative COVID test within the last 48 hours. Please bring a KN95 mask (or better) if you have one, but if you don’t have one then we will provide one for you.

We also recommend eating a large meal before arriving since we won’t be providing food. You may bring your own food and water, but we ask that you not eat on the convention floor (i.e., instead, please eat in the hallways, outside, the bleachers, candidate rooms, etc.).

Where should I park and enter the building?

Enter through door 13. The convention will take place in the gym, so the entrance is on the west side of the building and there is a parking lot by the entrance. There is no need to go up the big stairs. Signs will be posted to direct people to the correct entrance.

When will the convention end?

It’s difficult to predict convention end times. Since our agenda is fairly light, we hope to end the convention sometime in late afternoon, but the convention could go longer than that.

Will there be childcare options available?

Unfortunately, due to liability issues we are not able to provide childcare.

Will there be prayer breaks?

Yes. We will have scheduled prayer breaks and a prayer room available. The scheduled prayer breaks are at 1:24pm, 4:57pm, 7:46pm, and 8:53pm (though we hope the convention does not go into the evening).

How do I vote to support congressional candidates?

Delegates at this convention will vote to elect delegates to the Congressional District 4 (CD4) Convention. At the CD4 convention, those delegates will vote to endorse a congressional candidate. If you want to participate in the CD4 convention, then you must nominate yourself as a delegate at this convention during the walking sub-caucus portion of the convention.

When and where is the CD4 Convention?

The CD4 convention will be on May 15th at the Carpenter’s Hall on Olive St. in Saint Paul, MN.

When and where is the Ramsey Commissioner Convention?

The Ramsey Commissioner Convention will be on May 14th at the Carpenters’ Hall on Olive St. in Saint Paul, MN.

When and where is the State DFL Convention?

The state convention will take place on Friday, May 20th through Sunday May 22nd at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, MN.
