How to Become a Delegate

How do you become a delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention? Well, the answer depends upon where you live. Each state determines the process by which its delegates are selected. That process is described in the state party’s delegate selection plan. These plans must comply with national Democratic Party rules that provide guidelines to ensure a fair, open and inclusive process. In the summer of 2007, each state party will publish its delegate selection rules and clearly explain how to participate in the process.

If you want to be a delegate, your first step should be to call or write to your state party. The state party will provide you with the information and materials you’ll need to begin the process of running for a delegate position. These will include a copy of the state party’s delegate selection plan (or summary) and delegate candidate filing forms. All states require delegate candidates to file a “declaration of candidacy" in order to run. The deadline for this declaration varies from state to state but is specified in each state's plan. In some cases, the declaration must be accompanied by signatures of registered Democratic voters from that area. All filing requirements must be precisely followed.

Finally, whether or not you are successful in becoming a delegate to the 2008 National Convention -- stay informed and involved. Be sure to: (1) stay informed about the presidential campaign; (2) follow the 2008 Convention; (3) support the Party's presidential and vice presidential nominees; and (4) most importantly, Vote on Election Day!
