Registered Democrats in Dunstable, MA will hold a caucus Saturday, February 9, at 10:30 a.m. at the Town Hall, 511 Main St., Dunstable, to elect two (2) delegates and one (1) alternate to the 2008 Massachusetts Democratic Convention. Delegates will be divided equally between men and women.

The Convention will be held Saturday, June 7, 2008 at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA. At that time, Democrats from across the state will gather to endorse candidates for the office of U.S. Senator. The names of those candidates who receive 15 percent of the state convention vote will be placed on the Sept 16 Democratic Primary ballot.

The caucus is open to all registered Democrats in Dunstable. Candidates for delegate and alternate must consent to nomination in writing and must be present at the caucus. All candidates may make a one-minute statement and may distribute materials on their behalf. All ballots will be written and secret. Those not elected as Delegate or Alternate, who meet the qualifications, may apply to be add-on delegates in the following categories: youth (35 and under), minority, and disabled.

Discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, color, creed, national origin, religion, ethnic identity, sexual orientation or economic status in the conduct of the caucus is strictly prohibited. Challenges to the delegate selection process can be filed with the Massachusetts Democratic Party, 56 Roland St, Suite 203, Boston, MA 02129 no later than ten days after the caucus date.
