DPCCC delegates are selected at the reorganizational meeting in January of odd-numbered years. Any member of the DPCCC is eligible to run for delegate. The delegate selection process, however, is somewhat complicated to ensure fairness and equity.

The committee first caucuses by supervisorial district. Within each district, the delegates are allocated based on the number of elected/appointed members on the committee plus one additional delegate. The districts conduct up to three rounds of selection. In the first round, all elected and appointed members are eligible. This is usually automatic as there are more delegate seats per district than there are elected/appointed members. In the second round, all club representatives and alternates are eligible. If any delegate seats are still available after the second round, then any associate members living in the district are eligible.

After the caucuses, the committee comes back together to review and confirm the results as well as to determine gender equity. The remaining at-large seats are then up for selection with the number of seats per gender offered to ensure gender equity.

In 2023, the DPCCC had 42 seats to allocate. After the district caucuses, the five at-large seats were determined to be allocated to all other than self-identified females (male and nonbinary) for a total of twenty-one (21) women and twenty (21) men.

E-Board representatives are usually selected in the spring (April or May). Each DPCCC E-Board member must already be a DPCCC delegate.
