New York Delegation to 2024 National Convention

The New York Delegation to 2024 National Convention consists of New York delegates chosen by the Libertarian Party of New York to represent the state at the 2024 National Convention.

Selection Process

The LPNY's Delegate Selection Committee was tasked with developing a delegate rubric to be voted on by the State Committee. Based on that rubric, those who applied to be delegates will be considered when applying the rubric. The rubric was approved at the meeting of the State Committee held on January 22, 2024. The rubric became article 4 of the LPNY's Policy Manual (info). On February 13, 2024, the remaining members of the delegation were ratified, including the demotion of 3 delegates and promotion of 3 alternates.
