North Carolina Democrats Adopt Delegate Selection Rules
The North Carolina Democratic Executive Committee adopted rules to align with the national party for the 1976 convention. Delegates must reflect primary results, with 75 percent from congressional district conventions and 25 percent at the state convention. A nominating committee may propose a slate for all 15 spots, while delegates must publicly state presidential preference or be uncommitted. The move aims to balance the delegation with youth, Black and women delegates if not elected district-wide.
