There are two very important components that distinguish how Forward conducts party business and nominations:
You do not have to be an elected delegate to vote at convention. All party members are welcome.
Voters have the option to select "No candidate at this time."
The latter point is especially important. If the residents of a district feel that the candidate seeking to represent the Forward Party does not adequately reflect our shared values and community — or if another candidate in the race, regardless of party affiliation, is preferred by the majority — then the unopposed candidate will not advance to the general election in November.
This is how our party protects itself from unserious or bad actors, and how we respond to the persistent accusation that third parties are “spoilers” (a criticism we wholeheartedly reject, but one that must be addressed nonetheless).
Candidates are nominated at county convention if the district lies entirely within that county’s boundaries.
