Have an Impact on the Party Platform!

by · Published · Updated

Every two years, Washington State Democrats hold a statewide convention during which our party’s platform and resolution are revisited to ensure that our party represents our values, goals and objectives. This year, you can participate in this process and help update the WA State Party platform. Here’s how:

Become a Delegate to the WA 2022 Convention


The 45th LD Democrats are allotted 26 delegates for the Convention. Until that number is filled, alternates are automatically promoted to delegate. We currently have 17 delegates. So, if you meet the criteria for alternate, you will automatically be deemed a delegate until we reach our goal.

Who Can Run?


Any individual aged 15 or older who resides in the 45th LD and identifies as a Democrat is eligible to run and serve as a delegate to the State Convention.
