State Convention

  • Prairie Meadows Conference Center 1 Prairie Meadows Drive Altoona, IA, 50009 United States (map)

See https://www.theconventions.org/ for the Call Book, Platform, and other official information about the State Convention.

The State Convention will be held on June 15 in Altoona. Delegates elected at their County Convention will be issued credentials by mail. All Alternates elected at their County Convention who register in the morning at the State Convention are very likely to be seated as Delegates in place of those who cannot attend.

At the State Convention, additional National Delegates will be elected to serve at the Democratic National Conventions that are pledged to Presidential candidates based upon the proportion of the Presidential Preference mailing cards. For example if candidate A receives 15% support in Iowa, then they will receive 15% of the Delegates being elected to serve at the National Convention.

The Platform written by the Platform Committee that was elected at the District Conventions will be debated and a vote will be taken to approve it.

Aditional members to serve on the Iowa Democratic State Central Committee, including the Chairs of the Constituency Caucuses will be elected.

Members to serve on the Democratic National Convention Committees will be elected.

Platform Resolutions will also be accepted for submission to the National Platform Committee.
