Feb. 6, 2008 -- Though Virgin Islanders cannot vote for president, if you are registered to vote in the Virgin Islands and a Democrat, this Saturday you have a chance to help choose the Democratic Party candidate by voting for delegates to the Democratic National Convention. This year, unlike past years, voters will voice their presidential preference in their caucus vote. Voters will first select the candidate they support and then pick their delegate choices from among those who have pledged to support that candidate. A sample ballot can be seen at vbs.vi/sampleballots.pdf . The territory will have nine votes at the convention. Voters at Saturday's caucus will select six delegates. St. Croix voters will vote for two women and one man. St. Thomas and St. John voters will select two men and one woman. These six delegates will cast half a vote each for three of the V.I. votes.
