a.
Presidential Primary - Proportional Representation Plan (Rule 13.A., 13.B. & Rule 13.D.)
The Illinois presidential primary election is a binding primary. Accordingly,

B.
In order to ensure the district-level delegates are equally divided between men
and women, delegate positions within each district will be designated by

preferences in descending order until the gender of each position has been

winning presidential preference must be of the same sex as the advantaged
gender in that district. Following that determination, the allocation would
continue alternating by gender for the winning presidential preference and any
subsequent preferences. In districts with an even number of delegates, the
highest-vote getting delegate candidate for the districts winning presidential
preference will be the first delegate assigned. Following that determination, the
state will then designate the remaining positions for that presidential preference
and any subsequent preferences alternating by gender, as mathematically
practicable.

representing specific constituencies.
4.
The State Party will publish and make available at no cost: a clear and concise
explanation of how Democratic voters can participate in the delegate selection
process; an explanation of how, where and when persons can register to vote; and
delegate district maps. As well, the State Party shall also make available copies of the

d.
Representation Goals
1.
The State Party has determined the demographic composition of African Americans,
Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the states
Democratic electorate. These constituency percentages shall be established as goals for
representation in the states convention delegation. (Rule 6.A.)
2.
The State Party has determined the demographic composition of members of the
LGBT community, people with disabilities, and youth in the states Democratic
electorate and furthermore, the State Party has chosen to establish these percentages
as goals for representation in the states convention delegation.
In determining the percentage of each group, the total statewide population has been
increased by a factor of 1.40 to give effect to the impact of each voting group in
Democratic Primary elections. The Democratic Party of Illinois has used this formula
for every Democratic National Convention since at least 1992 because it has the effect
of maximizing minority participation.
To verify that the historic formula continues to maximize minority participation
opportunities, the Democratic Party of Illinois conducted an in-depth analysis of
26 | P a g e
Illinois 2016 Delegate Selection Plan for the Democratic National Convention
Democratic voting behavior by each ethnic group over the past decade.
In measuring ethnic participation in Illinois Democratic elections, the Democratic
Party of Illinois identified the 2012 Presidential Primary Election as the appropriate
measure of Democratic voting strength because it was the election with by far the
largest participation, not only statewide but also in every region of the State. For
example, in 2012 there were 703,219 Democratic Ballots cast in the primary election,
while there were only 500,164 Democratic Ballots Cast in the 2014 primary election.
Following is an ethnic breakdown of 2012 Democratic primary voters matched with
available ethnicity data:

100.00%
A full Illinois State Board of Elections based voter file was appended with available ethnicity
data and cross referenced with a voters full name and address, as well as date of birth and sex
where available, to ensure an accurate match. The breakdown includes 643,236 of the 703,219
Democratic primary voters available through a source file provided by the Illinois State Board
of Elections in 2012. Due to a lack of information available from local election authorities and
the state, the ethnicity of 10,313 voters was unknown, and the State Party was unable to
identify and match the ethnicity of the remaining 59,983 voters with certainty.
In calculating the applicable percentages of each ethnicity in the Democratic electorate, the
State Party subtracted the both 10,313 of unknown ethnicity and 59,983 unmatched records
from the total of 703,219 for a remainder of 632,923. As a result of this calculation, the African
American percentage of the Illinois Democratic Electorate is 26.43%, the Hispanic percentage is
7.52%, the combined Asian percentage is 1.58% and the Native American percentage is 0.00%.
Applying these percentages to the Illinois Delegation, the result would produce 46 African
American delegates, 13 Hispanic delegates, 3 Asian American delegates and zero Native
American delegates. Due to the dramatic reductions in three out of four ethnic categories
27 | P a g e
Illinois 2016 Delegate Selection Plan for the Democratic National Convention
contemplated by this Plan caused by this alternative calculation, the Democratic Party of
Illinois decided to continue the use of its long established formula for calculating minority
participation goals.
Accordingly, the application of the Partys historic formula for establishing minority
participation goals results in the following constituency percentage goals for representation in
the states convention delegation.

When selecting the at-large portion of the delegation, the demographic composition of
the other delegates (district-level, pledged PLEO, and unpledged) shall be compared
with the State Partys goals in order to achieve an at-large selection process that helps
to bring about a representative balance.
4.
Use of the at-large delegation to achieve the affirmative action goals established by
this Plan does not obviate the need for the State Party to conduct outreach activities
such as recruitment, education and training. (Rule 6.A.(3))
Presidential candidates shall assist the Illinois Democratic Party in meeting the
demographic representation goals reflected in the Affirmative Action Plan. (Rule 6.H.)
2.
Each presidential candidate must submit a written statement to the State Democratic
Chair by October 1, 2015 which indicates the specific steps he or she will take to
encourage full participation in Illinois delegate selection process, including, but not
limited to, procedures by which persons may file as candidates for delegate or
alternate. (Rule 6.H.(1)) Any presidential candidate who becomes a candidate for president
after October 1, 2015 shall submit the written statement required by this subsection
within 21 days of becoming a candidate.
3.
Each presidential candidate must submit demographic information with respect to all
candidates for delegate and alternate pledged to them. Such information shall be
submitted in conjunction with the list of names approved for consideration as
delegate and alternate candidates pledged to the presidential candidate. (Rule 6.H.(2))
4.
Presidential candidates (including uncommitted status) shall use their best effort to
ensure that their respective delegations within the states delegate, alternate and
standing committee delegations shall achieve the affirmative action goals reflected in
the Affirmative Action Plan and that the respective delegations of each presidential

2.
The State Party has taken reasonable steps to determine the composition of members
of the LGBT community, people with disabilities, and youth in the states Democratic
electorate, including a review of the most recent census data, and a review of election
returns in recent elections, both preceding and following the most recent census.
3.
In securing this level of full participation, the State Party will conduct the education
and publicity outreach efforts outlined in Sections B and C of this Section respectively.
4.
The State Party will make accommodations to facilitate greater participation by people
with disabilities. These accommodations will include notices and outreach in the
LGBT, disabled and youth communities working through university and young
Democrat organizations and encouraging each presidential candidate to approve
delegate candidates from the affected groups. In addition, the Democratic Party of
Illinois will conduct participation seminars targeting the LBGT, disabled and youth
communities as part of its outreach program.
