NEWBERRY COUNTY – Democratic precinct meetings will be held Saturday, Feb. 10 in each of the voting precincts in the county, according to the Newberry County Democrats.
Precinct meetings will start at 11:00 a.m. as the first step toward the county Democratic convention and the state Democratic convention.
Precinct meetings are key to the selection of delegates at all levels in the Democratic Party nominating process. Delegates chosen from each of the precincts advance to the county Democratic convention, where officers and voting delegates to the state Democratic convention will be elected. The number of delegates from each precinct to the Newberry County Democratic Convention is awarded based on the precinct’s voter turnout in the 2016 South Carolina Democratic Presidential Primary.
