Hartford, Ct. – The Connecticut Democratic Party today announced that their Delegate Selection Plan for the 2016 Democratic National Convention has been officially approved by the Democratic National Committee. Focused on emphasizing inclusion and diversity, participation is open to all voters who wish to participate as Democrats. The Party will be sharing a list of workshops in coming months to train people on the delegate selection process, and will be continuing to publicize this effort to allow for a robust and diverse delegation, which will be on the front lines of supporting our Democratic ticket.

“Democrats are the party of openness and inclusion, so I am proud that we have taken exhaustive steps to ensure that the Connecticut delegation to the Democratic National Convention will reflect the diversity of our state,” said Connecticut Democratic Party Chairman Nick Balletto. “Connecticut Democrats will play an integral role in the election of our next Democratic president, and I encourage people from all walks of life to participate in the delegate selection process. Our party – and our society – is strongest when the views of people from different backgrounds and experiences are heard.”
