Would state or local elected officials or officers, party officials or lobbyists be permitted to run as delegates?
• To ensure a people’s convention, this legislation provides that any state or local elected official or officer or party official elected and sworn in as delegate to the convention would be deemed to vacate his or her office and the process to fill the resulting vacancy with a successor could commence. This would also ensure that the public remains represented at every level of government and that delegates would not be receiving two public salaries. Persons lobbying the convention would be prohibited from acting as delegates.
