Can't attend Convention in person?

Delegates who are unable to attend in person may register online starting at 8:00am on Saturday April 11th the day of Convention.

Please refer to the Convention Rules for details on virtual voting once they are finalized, all voting will be held electronically. Balloting will be open for a minimum of 30 minutes for each race. While we make every effort to make virtual ballots available to delegates, we cannot control the internet, spam folders, or other unforeseen technical issues.
