Letter from Jamie Selzler
Bismarck, N.D.
North Dakotans have an opportunity to be part of the biggest delegate selection day in the presidential nominating calendar. And, we'll have over 100 caucus locations set up across the state to make it easy.
Here's why you should participate, as well as how:
Our events are part of "Super Duper Tuesday," the day when most caucuses and primaries will be conducted throughout the country. Twenty-one other states will be holding similar events.
Our Presidential Preference Caucuses begin the Democratic-NPL Party's delegate selection process. Voters will decide the composition of our state's pledged delegates at the national convention in Denver, Colo., this summer to formally endorse a Democrat for president of the United States.
North Dakotans can vote for a Democratic presidential candidate at any Democratic-NPL caucus location in the state on Feb. 5. Caucus sites are open from 2 to 8 p.m. Central Time.
Voters need to be at least 18 years old on Feb. 5. People can cast a ballot if they voted for a Democrat in the last general election or plan to in the next general election. Voters need to be a resident of North Dakota for at least 30 days prior to Feb. 5.
Anyone who votes in the North Dakota Republican caucus is not allowed to vote in the Democratic-NPL caucus.
Identification may be requested, but not required. All voters must fill out a sign-in sheet confirming their eligibility to vote.
Voters are allowed to cast a ballot for only one candidate.
Electing a Democratic president is the best way to obtain the change we all know the country needs. From reckless fiscal policies to rising heath care costs, Republicans have neglected the needs of Americans. Already in primaries and caucuses across the country, we have seen record voter turnout for Democrats. There are good reasons for it.
This is an exciting time for our state and country. I'm inviting everyone interested in voting for a Democratic presidential candidate to attend our Presidential Preference Caucuses coming up on Feb. 5. For more information, you are welcome to check out our Web site: www.demnpl.com or call (701) 255-0460.
Editor’s note: Selzler is executive director of the Democratic-NPL Party in North Dakota.
