If you cannot attend the reorganizational meeting, you may appoint a representative to serve as your proxy (a link to the proxy form is attached). A precinct committee member may only designate another Democrat from his/her precinct who is NOT an elected precinct committee member. State Legislators may only designate another Democrat from the county who resides in their District. The executed proxy must be filed with the Chair and the Recording Secretary before the meeting is called to order.
