You have to do the sign-ins where the location has been posted at the location.

If after everyone has signed in and the delegate allocation has been determined, you can move. But you absolutely cannot move from the original location that it is posted.

From the TDP:

The convention is supposed to start at 7:15; however, if voters are still in line, you MUST wait for that last person to vote before you can begin the convention.

No one can sign in before 7:15 pm, or when the last
person has voted – whichever occurs later. The convention will be convened, and then sign-ins may begin.

According to the "ABC's of Conducting your Precinct Convention" it states
"Once you have everyone signed in and the time is officially 7:15 pm, call the meeting to order"

So, you do NOT have to wait until 7:15 or voting has ended to have people sign in?  I know the campaigns are telling people to "just sign in for their candidate" and then they can leave.

Is this correct?  How early then can you start signing people in?  I saw a Clinton ad last night that posted 6:45 as the time to arrive at the precinct convention site.  

So I am a little confuse about timing.  We can start signing people that have already voted as soon as the person running the convention has the envelope from the election judge. We don't have to wait until 7:15 (or all voters have voted) to sign people in? We just cannot start the official convention until 7:15 or voting is completed.  ?

Thanks

There is no benefit to having a supporter for your candidate elected to the role -- the election should be conducted by the rules, regardless of who is in charge. That person may gain some informal authority and, thus, may be more likely to be elected a delegate to attend the county/state convention later on, but that's non-official.

There is a HUGE lasting benefit (not ramification) -- you are an activist in the party! Though not obligated, this is the chance to work from March 4 to November to get your precinct to turnout for Democrats in the general election!

I've been combined with 2 precincts and am the only one of the 3 who has declared a spot for the convention. I'm not sure what the other 2 precinct chairs are doing!

Note to self: clear the remainder of Tuesday night as well.

Those 8 delegates need to go to the county convention, where the identical process is repeated. If one of the 8 elected delegates can't go to the county convention, then (1) they shouldn't run, or (2) if they don't know they can't go until after Election Day, then one of the alternates should fill their spot at the state convention.

For a clearer understanding of the entire caucus convention (from the precinct to national level) go here:

You can switch your mind.

But that's a dangerous thing to do, given the current political climate. :)

that's definitely illegal.  i HIGHLY DISCOURAGE anyone from crossing the legal line.
