Shelby County’s Democrats begin their 2021 convention process this Saturday with preliminary caucuses at Wooddale Middle School. Delegates will be selected there to take part in the election of new party officers, including for the office of chair to succeed current chairman Michael Harris.
Registration for Saturday’s event begins at 10 a.m. and ends at noon, when the doors will be closed on further admittance. District caucuses will be held to choose the party’s Grass Roots Council, which is a general assembly of sorts, as well as members of the party Executive Committee.
Nominations will also be made for party chair, and attendees chosen for either of the two elected bodies will be expected to return to Wooddale on August 28th to take part in the final selection of the chair.
Participation is open to all residents of Shelby County, Tennessee who are registered to vote in this county, and who “believe in the ideals, principles, and values of the Democratic party.” All such are eligible to become members of the Shelby County Democratic Party and are eligible to serve on the Executive Committee or Grassroots Council.
