2006 national LP Convention

Portland, Oregon has been selected by the LNC as the site of the Libertarian Party's 2006 convention. The date has yet to be selected but will be late June or early July.

The Idaho LP has secured 5 seats already, based on the votes Michael Badnarik received from our voters. The remaining fraction (typically the larger one) of our delagate allocation will be determined by the number of members we have relative to the rest of the Libertarian Party of the USA.

This is a great opportunity for many of us to participate on a national level as Portland is a reasonable drive from nearly anywhere in Idaho, making this the most affordable national convention for us in...perhaps ever.

P.S. The allocation of delegates according to our national bylaws:

Each affiliate party shall be entitled to send delegates to each Regular Convention on the following basis:

One delegate for each 0.1 percent, or fraction thereof, of the total Party membership in that affiliate; provided that at least one such delegate must be a resident of that State or District.

One delegate for each 0.25 percent, or fraction thereof, of the votes cast nationwide for the Libertarian Party candidate in the most recent presidential election, cast in that affiliate's state.
