Marlborough Democrats To Elect 2024 State Convention Delegates

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Marlborough Democrats will gather soon at Kane Elementary School to choose delegates for the 2024 state Democratic convention.

The March local delegate election precedes the biannual state Democratic convention, which will take place in June in Worcester. At the convention, delegates from communities across the state will endorse candidates for seats on the governor's council and in the state House and Senate.

Any Democrat in Marlborough over age 16 registered before Feb. 15 can be elected as a delegate, not just members of the Marlborough Democratic City Committee.

“Please come to the caucus and meet your fellow Democrats at this grassroots party building event,” MDCC Chair Dan Caruso said in a news release. “You do not have to be a city committee member to run for delegate, though we encourage Marlborough Democrats to consider joining us.”

Here's more from an MDCC news release:

The Marlborough Democratic City Committee will hold a caucus on March 2 to elect delegates and alternates to the Democratic State Convention at the DCU Center, 50 Foster St., Worcester, on June 1.

The caucus will be held at the Kane Elementary School, 520 Farm Road. Doors will open at 9:15 a.m. and participants must register before 10:15 a.m. There is no free to attend.

Immediately following the election of delegates to the state convention, Democrats will convene a second, separate caucus to elect a delegate to the state senatorial conference on March 23 at 2 p.m. The location is still to be determined. This caucus will elect the male conference seat on the Democratic State Committee for the Middlesex and Worcester Senate District. There are two candidates for this post.

For those who want to participate but cannot attend in person, the MDCC will offer a virtual option via Zoom. Those who choose this option must register in advance. For information on how to register in advance contact MDCC Chair Dan Caruso at mazdasp23@gmail.com. Zoom registrants will receive a confirmation email with log-in information for the caucus prior to the caucus date.

All registered Marlborough Democrats and pre-registered Marlborough Democrats at least 16 years of age by February 15, 2024, may participate. Youth, minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are not elected delegates or alternates may apply to be add-on delegates to the caucus. They must do so before 5 p.m., March 29. Apply at massdems.org/massdems-convention/
