The Convention includes approximately 1,200 delegates who have been elected at their local Organizing Unit Conventions. Additionally, DFL State Party Officers, Congressional District Chairs and Vice Chairs, DFL legislators, statewide and federal elected officials, and representatives of the tribes are automatic delegates to the State Convention.
