=== Election of National Convention Delegates ===

Because the set of nominees included many from out of state, proposals were made to modify the selection process to give preference to California residents, but none of these proposals was adopted and the selection was done using the procedure outlined in the standing Convention Rules.
''Note: Voting was done by ballot on the final day of the convention, but the results have not yet been announced.''
