Saturday 9 February 2008: A Territorial Convention meets to choose 9 of the Virgin Islands' 12 delegates to the Democratic National Convention (together representing 3 of the Virgin Islands' 9 delegate votes at the National Convention).

• These 6 at-large delegates to the National Convention are elected in two "preference caucuses" at the Territorial Convention which allocate these delegates to the presidential contenders in a way which reflects the percentage of support for the candidates at the Territorial Convention- a mandatory 15 percent threshold being necessary in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates.
• Each of these 6 Pledged delegates will only cast ½ (or .5) of a vote on the floor of the Democratic National Convention.

The remaining 6 delegates (representing the Virgin Islands' remaining 6 delegate votes) are Unpledged PLEOs who will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".

The 6 "Unpledged" votes are cast by 6 actual delegates as follows:

• This territory's Democratic Member of Congress (=a non-voting Delegate in the House of Representatives); territorial Delegate Donna M. Christensen is an "Unpledged PLEO" and casts 1 delegate vote.
• This territory's Democratic Governor; territorial Governor John P. deJongh, Jr. is an "Unpledged PLEO" and casts 1 delegate vote.
• This territory's 4 Democratic National Committee members: each of these territorial DNC members casts 1 vote apiece for a total of 4 delegate votes.
