How and when do Ohio Democrats introduce resolutions during election season?
Down here in Texas, we have the primary vote and the precinct conventions on the same day, and we submit resolutions during the tail end of the precinct conventions. What about Ohio?

1. hi Derby, please forgive my ignorance what do "resolutions" refer to ?
Is that the results of delegate choices ?

We will be selecting nearly all our pledged delegates at the polls tomorrow, we have a proportional primary :

More info, please, Derby.

Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 10:27 AM by MeDeMax
that didn't work, because the DU boards use "(", it is really the wiki poster's fault for using that.

Any way here is a tiny URL for it http://myturl.com/0oSE8

4. Resolutions are proposals to change the state Democratic platform, call for new laws, etc.
Want to see your state Democratic legislators tackle wasteful spending, environmental issues, rural healthcare needs, etc.? Introduce a resolution to your Party.

I'm just trying to get a handle on whether you can do it tomorrow or if there's another place where this gets done (county conventions, state convention, etc.)

5. I've been working the polls for a number of years, Derby,
and I don't think we can introduce resolutions during our voting process.

Maybe someone will prove me wrong??

6. I think you are right
look under "Constitution and Bylaws" under "About ODP" at the Ohio Dems site:
