YCDP 2025 Convention

Date, Time,
Location

TBA

SCDP Rules have ‘alligned’ county conventions and elections. They say that county parties will have conventions every year, with officer elections in odd number years (so this year, 2025). YCDP elected officers in 2024, and those officers will serve only one-year terms. With the 2025 election, officers will be back on schedule for two-year terms.

The 2025 YCDP Convention has not been announced yet. SCDP rules say we will have at least four weeks notificatioin of the date and location.

The 2024 YCDP Convention is history!

That history is preserved on our YouTube Channel and our audio podcast. If you missed it, you can relive the whole thing (with better sound👂🏻🔊), and you can use the extensive time-coded INDEX on the YouTube Description to zero in on the action you want to review.

We’re also keeping the text below as part of that history, until 2025 when we do it again!

Sign-up is required to attend the Convention. Look for the location, details and a signup link in your email. If you haven’t see that info, call the office at the number at the bottom of this page.

This year's Precinct Meetings will not be held. Instead each Precinct will elect or have a volunteer as an Executive Committee person and an Alternate if you like, to attend the YCDP quarterly Executive Committee meetings to be the governing body and to vote when necessary, just as we do today.

There are several very active Precincts, and if you chose to have officers, that is fine. Just as long as you have that one person to be the Executive Committee person to attend the quarterly meetings. Beloqw is a form if you wish to volunteer for your precinct.

Bring the completed form with you to the Convention, or return it by email to Darelene.

96 Delegates and Alternates will be elected to attend the South Carolina State Convention which is May 18, 2024 in Columbia.
