Voting Procedure
Following the nomination and seconding of candidates, the Central Committee will recess for one (1) hour. Similar to many of your Congressional District Conventions, you will receive an email with three things: a link to you ballot, an access key, and a password for you to access your ballot. The email will have the subject line Vote Now - DPVA - State Central Committee Officer Elections, and will be in your inbox approximately around 12PM. Voting will be open for one (1) hour, so be sure to get your vote in. You are not required to be on the Zoom Call to cast your vote. If you have any issues during voting, please email reorg@vademocrats.org, and DPVA Staff will be standing by to troubleshoot for you.
