Georgia Democrats Announce Delegate Selection Plan for 2024 National Convention

Today, the Democratic Party of Georgia announced the adoption of the party’s Delegate Selection Plan for the 2024 Democratic National Convention. The plan specifies policies and procedures for electing Georgia’s delegates and alternates, who will attend the 2024 DNC Convention in Chicago to officially nominate President Biden and Vice President Harris for re-election.

“Georgia voters represent the future of the Democratic Party, and our leadership team has built a selection plan that will send a diverse and inclusive delegation to represent us at next year’s Democratic National Convention,” said Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia. “We look forward to welcoming Democrats across the state into the process of officially nominating President Biden and Vice President Harris to finish the job in 2024.”

On July 17, 2023, this plan was posted on the DPG website, where the DPG solicited public comment.

On August 23, 2023, after the close of the 30-day public comment period, the DPG Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee convened and reviewed the public comments and the Affirmative Action & Outreach Plan.

The Executive Committee of the DPG approved the plan on August 28, 2023. The DNC will now review the plan and notify the DPG of any changes, but the general components of the plan are as follows:

• Georgia is allocated 124 delegates and 9 alternates.
• 71 district level delegates will be elected within the delegates’ congressional district on April 6, 2024.
• Fourteen Party Leaders and Elected Officials (PLEOs) will be elected by the 71 district-

level delegates on April 20, 2024 at a central location in the state.

• On May 18, 2024, 23 at-large delegates and nine alternates will be elected by a quorum of the State Committee of the Democratic Party of Georgia.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the DPG will continue to implement a robust effort to ensure that all communities are represented in Georgia’s delegation. The Democratic Party of Georgia is committed to sending a delegation to Chicago that reflects the diversity of our party and our state.

While the DPG’s delegate selection plan is under DNC review, the plan will remain online to ensure access and transparency throughout the process. Interested parties may view the plan here.
