"Virginia will be allotted 99 delegates and 13 alternates to the 2000 Democratic National Convention that will be held in Los Angeles, August 14 -17. The Virginia Delegate Selection Plan calls for the election of delegates by a three-step process, with the first step being city and county caucuses in each locality in the state on either April 15 or 17. Delegates elected at these local caucuses will then select Fifth Congressional District delegates at the May 20th convention. The final step will conclude with the State Convention, June 2 - 3, Norfolk Scope, Norfolk, VA.

If you are interested in becoming a delegate, you can contact your local democratic committee chairperson or the State Party Headquarters at (804) 644-1966 ext. 227 for additional information" (Robin Gardner, electronic mail, March 27, 2000).
