The California Democratic Party will hold its presidential delegate selections at 2 p.m. on May 1. The locations for the Region 1, including Nevada County, will be in Chico for Hillary Clinton, and both Nevada City and Chico for Bernie Sanders. The Bernie Sanders location has been changed to the Nevada City Veteran’s Memorial Building.

The California presidential primary election is a “binding” primary. Accordingly, delegate and alternate positions shall be allocated so as to fairly reflect the expressed presidential (or uncommitted) preference of the primary voters in each district. The National Convention delegates and alternates selected at the district level shall be allocated in proportion to the percentage of the primary vote won in that district by each preference, except that preferences falling below a 15 percent threshold shall not be awarded any delegates or alternates.

Those who choose to support a delegate to the convention in Philadelphia this July must attend and vote for that person at the Chico or Grass Valley locations described below.
