  • •The leader of a political party in the state must tell the Secretary of State how many people will represent the state at the big national party meeting.
  • •This must be done at least 120 days before the presidential primary.
  • •This rule helps the state know how many delegates each party will have.

Example

Imagine your school is choosing students to go to a big national meeting. The principal of your school needs to tell the state education office how many students will go.

Just like the principal, the leader of a political party must tell the Secretary of State how many delegates will represent the state at the national party meeting, and they have to do this at least 120 days before the presidential primary.
