Campaigning for Governor, Treasurer, and Secretary
All Candidates for the office of Governor, Secretary, and Treasurer will spend most of their time campaigning at DCON. In order to prepare for this, each candidate is allowed to campaign at a Spring Zone Rally. Dates for Spring Zone Rallies can be found on our District Calendar. Each candidate must email the respective Zone Administrator for each rally at least one week before the date they wish to campaign.
