Election of Delegates to National Convention
In presidential election years, the State Convention shall elect the delegation to the National Convention. The number of delegates and alternates to the National Convention, as assigned to the State by the Democratic National Committee, shall be indicated, and their method of nomination and election described, in the announcement or call of the State Convention by the State Committee.
Procedures for electing delegates and alternates to National Democratic Conventions may be adopted by the State Committee and shall be binding, provided that said procedures do not violate any other provisions of these Rules and are in accordance with directives of the Democratic National Committee. Such procedures will be incorporated into the Call of the State Convention and will be given maximum feasible distribution to Democrats throughout South Carolina.
South Carolina’s Members of the Democratic National Committee shall be elected by a majority of delegates present and voting at the State Convention. Vacancies will be filled by a majority of the votes present at a meeting of the State Executive Committee. The State Committee shall nominate presidential electors and any vacancy in the state ticket of electors by a majority of the members present.
