DSA National Convention Delegates Election

The National Convention is held every other year, and is the highest decision-making body of the organization. Delegates from across the country will meet to set our course for the next two years and elect our new National Political Committee (NPC), which functions as DSA’s highest decision-making body between conventions. This is the first in-person convention since 2019, and will also have opportunities for workshops, presentations, and interacting with comrades from across the country.

Anyone who wants to run to be a Delegate to the DSA National Convention should submit the Delegate Nominations form. We will also take nominations at the May 7th General Meeting. Anyone with questions about what happens at convention or what delegates do can ask questions here or connect directly with a past delegate.

  • The deadline for nominations is Friday, May 19th at 11:59pm
  • Any active dues-paying member of TCDSA is eligible to run
  • Twin Cities DSA can elect 22 delegates and 2 alternates to the convention.
