Website Events Guidelines

Priority will be given to Coconino County Democratic Party (CCDP) news. Newsletters are generally mailed on Mondays, but may be sent as early as Sunday evening or as late as Tuesday.
Items for the newsletter or events calendar should be sent to info@ccdem.org with reasonable advance notice, preferably by 5pm on the Friday prior to the event. Although we will attempt to post late notices, this may not always be possible. On rare occasions and for good cause, a separate mailing will be considered.
Events that are of a general interest will be added to our website in the events category. These include public meetings, town hall meetings and forums, events for elected officials that are open to the public, and events in which all Democratic candidates running for the same office have been given an opportunity to speak. These events will be posted once in their entirety in the newsletter, generally with a link to the event calendar. At the discretion of the CCDP, subsequent postings in the newsletter are likely to be links to the website.
All Democratic candidates have the same opportunity to have events posted on the CCDP calendar. Events for a specific candidate will be added to the website in the events category. These events will no longer be printed in their entirety in the newsletter unless the candidate is running unopposed, and then only at the discretion of the CCDP. They may, however, be listed in the newsletter with links to our website events calendar.
It is up to the requestor to provide the information in a form compatible with our systems. Although an attempt will be made to reproduce the notice as sent, the event may be reformatted as needed.
