2025 County Convention
Join us at the
Morris County Democratic Committee
for the June 2025 Primary
The Morris County Convention is where we gather as a Party and vote on endorsing candidates at the county, state, and federal levels who can then use our slogan, “Morris County Democratic Committee, Inc.” for the June Primary.
This year, we are offering something new: an early voting option! This allows us to expand the voting period and announce the winners during our convention. The early voting option starts two days prior to the convention. This provides a voting window that is twice as long as last year’s to ensure a high level of participation. It gives voters more time to connect with support staff, if they have a question or issue. Voters can also be cast during the convention until the speeches are closed. Then, we will announce the endorsement winners while everyone is together!
We encourage you to watch the gubernatorial Town Halls with each candidate to make an informed voting choice.
