Important Information
How many Selectors will be chosen in Wilson County?
Wilson County is split by two Congressional Districts, 5 and 6. The number of selectors assigned to each congressional district was based on population and Democratic vote share at the precinct level. In Wilson County, Congressional District 5 has 36 slots, while District 6 has 10.
To ensure that the County Selectors being sent to the Congressional District Conventions are
equally divided between men and women (determined by gender self-identification), County
Selector positions are apportioned as follows by gender. These gendered apportionments
represent a maximum number, not a requirement. In no case shall the apportionment of selector
positions by gender be used to prevent gender non-binary individuals from seeking or attaining
positions as County Selectors.
When a gender non-binary individual is chosen to fill a County Selector position, the maximum number of binary gendered positions is reduced by one to compensate, maintaining the same total number of selectors. Reductions in the maximum number of binary gendered positions will alternate, maintaining as equal a number of each binary gender as mathematically possible.
