Democrats in towns and cities across the state will be caucusing in the next few weeks to elect delegates and alternates to attend the 2015 Massachusetts Democratic Convention on Saturday, June 4, at the Tsongas Center in Lowell. Convention delegates will vote to endorse statewide candidates.
Delegates will be divided equally between men and women, and all ballots will be written and secret.
