Interested in becoming a delegate to select Graham Platner's replacement? Here's how.
Since Graham Platner officially withdrew from the U.S. Senate race Friday, the Maine Democratic Party has finalized its process to select his replacement. That includes details about how to become a delegate, released over the weekend.
On July 18 and 19, all 16 counties will hold delegate nominating meetings, either in-person or virtually, during which 500 people will be selected to be sent to the convention on July 25 in Bangor to select the new nominee.
Anyone interested in serving as a delegate must file a declaration of intent by 5 p.m. on July 15, through the Maine Democratic Party website.
The convention will have 601 delegates total, with 101 members of the state committee also serving as delegates.
