GREENBRIER COUNTY W.Va. (WVDN) – County Democratic Executive Committee Chair Paul Detch announced today that the Greenbrier County Democratic Convention will be held on Saturday, March 16, at 10 a.m. at Lewisburg City Hall Paul R Cooley Council Chambers, 942 Washington St. W., Lewisburg.
During the County Convention, an official Convention Chair and Secretary will be elected and attendees will elect 26 County Delegates to represent Greenbrier County at the State Convention in Charleston on June 14 and 15.
“We encourage all registered Democrats, who are residents in Greenbrier County, to get involved in the Democratic process and attend this important event,” Detch said. “This convention is important because those elected as delegates will go to Charleston in June and will vote for the people who will represent our state at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Il, in August.”
The delegates to the National Convention are selected during the State Convention. West Virginia has been allocated 25 delegates and 2 alternates to the Democratic National Convention.
The County Convention is open to all registered Democrats in Greenbrier County and those who would like to be Democrats. Voter registration forms will be available at the convention for those who wish to register as a Democrat.
County Conventions are mandated by State statute. A county must hold a convention every year that there is a Presidential election. At the State Convention, the delegates will also approve the Party Platform and elect five Presidential Electors.
