State Convention- Becoming a Delegate 

Precinct leaders at the County Convention will nominate and vote on delegates to the Kentucky Democratic Party State Convention on June 14th in Owensboro. Each Legislative District has been allocated a certain number of delegates based on the number of registered Democrats in that district. Sign up above for the county convention to run for delegate.

Legislative Districts and County Executive Committee

Legislative Districts (LDs) are the same districts that the Kentucky House of Representatives use for their elections. These are larger districts, and come with more responsibilities. There are 18 LDs in Louisville, and each one is represented by a Chair, Vice-Chair, and At-Large Chair on the Louisville Democratic Party Executive Committee. These LD Chairs are important strategic leaders that are responsible for ensuring our success each election. In addition to the duties of a precinct leader, our LD Chairs will be:

• Running regular district meetings and ensuring communication between precinct captains, volunteers, and the county or state party

• Coordinating campaign efforts such as voter outreach, fundraising, and volunteer mobilization

• Participating in party conventions, regular committee meetings, and leadership discussions

• Organizing canvassing, phone banking, and other get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts

• Recruiting and training volunteers for party and campaign activities.

• Organizing community events to strengthen Democratic visibility and support

Legislative District Chairs play a crucial role in ensuring Democratic success in elections by fostering strong local organization and community engagement. Interested in serving as an LD Chair? Elections for all LDs will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, May 17th at Hartford Hall in JCTC. Nominations will be taken from the floor at the convention. You do not need to pre-register to run for an LD position. Reminder: In order to vote for an LD position, you must be a Precinct leader.

State Central Executive Committee

The next step is to become involved at the State level. The State Central Executive Committee (SCEC) of the Kentucky Democratic Party is the leadership body responsible for guiding and managing party operations at the state level. The SCEC is composed of highly-engaged individuals that are working to re-establish the success of Democrats throughout Kentucky. Each Congressional District has 5 representatives on SCEC: 2 Men, 2 Women, and one Youth (Age 40 and under).

Interested in serving on SCEC? The Kentucky Democratic Convention will take place on June 14 in Owensboro. More details to come.
