Democrats across Florida will be picking their national convention delegates next month in a process far different — and with a bit less intrigue — than the GOP’s.
Unlike Republicans, whose delegates are picked by local party officials, Democrats will hold elections of its general members to pick most of its delegates, not including their already anointed superdelegates and others to be chosen later by the elected delegates.
Any registered Democrat can vote in the elections, which will be held May 7 in each of Florida’s 27 congressional districts. In the 2nd District, elections will be held in three cities: Tallahassee, Monticello and Panama City.
Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho will run the local election, though the Democratic Party will pick up the tab. The election in Tallahassee will be held 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Leon County Voting Operations Center in Cross Creek Square, 2990 Apalachee Parkway.
