On the process of actually
becoming
a delegate:
In NH individuals
wanting
to become district level delegates filed a statement of candidacy (NHDP
form) with the NHDP by January 2, 2004. Dozens of people filed
for
the major candidates. Each campaign then held a pre-primary
caucus
on January 10, 2004 in each CD where slates
of seven District level delegate candidates were selected. Then,
based on the primary vote, some of those people became delegates to the
Democratic National Convention in Boston. District-level
delegates
caucused on Apri 24, 2004 and selected the remaining delegates and four
alternates.
