Democrats in the Town of Acton have scheduled a caucus on March 4 at 4 p.m. in the social hall of Temple Beth Elohim, at 133 Prospect Street, to elect delegates to the Massachusetts Democratic Party’s 2013 Platform Convention.

The convention will take place at the Tsongas Center in Lowell this summer. All Acton residents registered as Democrats by Dec. 31, 2012 are eligible and welcome to participate.

The Acton delegation will consist of 12 delegates and 3 alternates. Those not elected, but who meet the qualifications, may apply to be add-on delegates in the following categories:

• Youth;
• Minority;
• Disabled.

“At our 2013 convention, the delegates selected by the Acton Democrats will debate and adopt our platform for the next four years, catch up and network with other organizers around the Commonwealth and hear from some exciting future leaders of our party,” Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair John Walsh said in a statement.
