HOW
WYOMING'S 18 DELEGATES TO THE DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION ARE
ALLOCATED
18
delegates, breaks down to six unpledged
delegates, and 12 pledged
delegates.
UNPLEDGED
DELEGATES
Five
(5) "superdelegates." These people are
entitled to go to the
convention, and they do not have to pledge
support for any candidate. Wyoming's
superdelegates are Gov. Dave Freudenthal,
state party Chairman John Millin,
state party Vice Chair Nancy Drummond,
National Committeeman Pete Jorgensen,
and National Committeewoman Cynthia
Nunley.
One
(1) "unpledged party leader/elected official."
This person is
entitled to go to the convention, and he/she
does not have to pledge support
for any candidate. The state party chairman
will nominate one or more people
for this delegate position, and the person
will be elected by the delegates to
the Democratic State Convention on May
23-24.
PLEDGED
DELEGATES
Seven
(7) "district-level delegates" (and three (3)
alternates). They will
be awarded to the presidential candidates
based on the percentage of the vote
each receives statewide in the March 8 county
caucuses/conventions, with the
allocation to each candidate to reflect the
vote as closely as possible. This
is based on the raw vote totals, or the
popular vote, NOT the number of
delegates to the state
convention.
Three
(3) "at-large delegates." (and one (1)
alternate). They will be
awarded to the presidential candidates based
on the vote by the delegates at
the Democratic State Convention on May 23-24.
The delegates to the state
convention, and which candidates they are
pledged to support, will be
determined within each county based on the
percentage of the vote each
candidate receives at the March 8 county
caucuses/conventions.
