No one filed paperwork to be a delegate for either of the billionaires seeking the Democratic Party's nomination, Tom Steyer or Mike Bloomberg. Likewise, there were no potential delegates registered for Tulsi Gabbard or Deval Patrick.

If other candidates qualify to receive delegates at the convention by earning 15 percent or more of the vote but fails to slate enough delegate candidates, the vacancies will be filled by a post-primary procedure within 30 days, according to the Illinois Democratic Party's 2020 delegate selection plan.

The 9th Congressional District will award eight delegates, four men and four women, according to the party plan. Selection of delegates and alternates is scheduled for April 27 in Springfield. Illinois Speaker Mike Madigan, in his role of state party chair, must certify the delegates in writing to the Democratic National Committee by May 1, according to the plan.

In the 9th District, three residents have registered to be Republican delegates for the president at the Republican Party's national convention in August in Charlotte, North Carolina.

DONALD TRUMP

• Charlene Foss-Eggemann, of Park Ridge
• Kenneth Jochum, of Arlington Heights
• Susan Sweeney of Park Ridge.

No one filed paperwork to appear as a delegate for either of Trump's two challengers in the primary on the Illinois ballot: Rocky De La Fuente, of San Diego, California, and John Scheiss, of Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

Information about candidates to become at-large delegates from other Illinois congressional districts is available from the Illinois State Board of Election by selecting the district and party in the "office" field.
