Nominations. At the selection meeting, any Democrat in Wake County may nominate a candidate; they do not have to reside in the boundaries of the House District. Of course, you may also nominate yourself.

There is a 2 minute time limit on nominating speeches. No seconding speeches will be allowed.

After all candidates have been nominated, each candidate will be allowed a 2 ½ minute speech. Candidates will be recognized to speak in alphabetical order.

Voting. Under the rules of the N.C. Democratic Party Plan of Organization, a candidate must receive a majority vote; plurality has no applicability. Under that same Plan, there is no provision for dropping the person receiving the fewest votes. Unless a person withdraws, their name will continue to be on the ballot.

Given the number of candidates, we anticipate several ballots. Voting is by written ballot and each voter must sign their ballots.

Proxy Voting. In accordance with N.C. Democratic Party Plan of Organization, §11.05, proxy voting will be allowed. A proxy must be signed and presented to the Credentials Committee. Proxy information will be mailed to each eligible voter and also posted on the Wake County Democratic Party webpage.

Credentials Committee. Voting members of the House District Selection Committee may check in between 9:00 a.m. and 9:55 a.m. on Saturday October 17, 2009. Any disputed credentials will be resolved by the Committee members before voting begins.

Voting members of the House District Selection Committee:
Attached is a list of the current eligible members of the House District Committee. This list was developed in accordance with N.C. Democratic Party Plan of Organization, §3.12. After the organizational meeting on October 11, 2009, we anticipate that additional voters will become eligible.

I look forward to a spirited forum, selection meeting and campaign next year. I pledge that the Wake County Democratic Party will work strenuously to retain this seat in next year’s General Election.
Sincerely yours,

Jack Nichols
Chair
Wake County Democratic Party
