The plan formally describes the process of how the Democratic Party of Virginia will select its delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention to be held in Denver, Colorado, the week of August 25-28, 2008. During the 30-day period, the public can submit comments, questions and concerns regarding the plan.
