Candidates are introduced. Delegates and Alternates are seated and Convention Officers are elected. Additionally, Delegates to the State Convention are elected. Resolutions are adopted and could become part of our National Platform.

The County Convention is held the 3rd Saturday after the Primary Election unless there is a conflict with Easter or Passover, in which case the Election Code has a provision that moves it to the fourth Saturday. The incumbent County Chairman (which may be different than the one elected in the Primary Election) serves as the temporary County Convention Chairman.

Starting at this level, committees may be used to do some of the preliminary work for the convention. For example, a Nominations Committee may be elected to consider those wanting to be elected as delegates to the next convention, then present a slate of delegates and alternates for which the convention body votes. Also, a Resolutions Committee may be elected to consider resolutions, then present a resolutions report on which the convention body votes. Other committees may also be elected.
