Some Democrats in Monroe County are objecting to changes the way the party chooses an elections commissioner.
In the past, members of the party committee met at a convention to elect a commissioner.
But to fill the current vacancy, interested candidates are being asked to submit applications to a screening committee, and the Democratic Executive Committee will choose the new commissioner.
County Democratic Chair Brittaney Wells says the party needs a new commissioner in place quickly to prepare for the presidential primary in April.
Applications are being taken online through Friday.
