Welcome!

The Democratic National Convention is on August 25-28, 2008 in Denver Colorado. Oregon will send 65 delegates and 9 alternates to represent our state at this historic event. Democrats elect 53 of those delegates at congressional district and state conventions.

The division of delegates is determined by the vote candidates received in the Oregon primary election on May 20. Senator Obama receives 31 delegates, and Senator Clinton receives 21. The detailed calculations and the delegate allocations are published here (pdf file).

Registration for all activities associated with delegate selection is now CLOSED.

Results from the 5 CD conventions on June 7 are posted here.
