What is done at the Congressional Assembly and Convention?

This is the first point where the roles of the Assembly and Convention take different paths. The Assembly’s job is to nominate candidates for the US House of Representatives from that district as well as to the CU Board of Regents and State Board of Education. Candidates for these offices are nominated the same way they are at the House and Senate districts.

The Congressional District Convention then elects delegates to the National Convention in presidential years as well as a person to serve as a Presidential Elector, who casts the official Electoral College vote for US President in December based on the outcome of the popular vote the previoius month.
