What are they?
Conventions are held at least once each year. At conventions, county delegates from every precinct in Davis County convene to meet and vote for candidates for public or party office. Delegates may also vote on proposed changes to the governing documents. Conventions are usually held at a local school and provide opportunities to get to know candidates and fellow members of the party. Official notices for convention are sent out via email by the Party Secretary prior to the day of convention. Dates are also posted on the Events section of this page.
