There’s still time to run for State Delegate and represent us at the 2026 Washington State Democratic Convention, June 19-21 in Spokane (attend in person or virtually!).

You just need to SELF-NOMINATE by Friday, February 20 at 5pm.

Check out the profiles of people who have already self-nominated!

Delegates vote on platform and resolutions that will guide party advocacy for the next two years.

There are also trainings, and caucus and council meetings; plus the chance to socialize and meet Dems from around the state and learn about the challenges and successes of Dems in other areas.

You've got questions - we've got answers!

What is a State Delegate?

• A State Delegate is a person chosen by each Legislative District Party Organization (that's us - the 46th Legislative District Democrats!) to represent their district at the 2026 Washington State Democratic Convention.

• In addition to attending the convention (either in person or virtually), the delegates and alternates will meet online several times in advance of the meeting, to vote on the 46th’s submissions of platform amendments and resolutions.
• There is no fee to be a delegate or to attend the convention. However, if attending in person, you will be responsible for other costs, such as  transportation/gas, hotel and meals. 

• The 46th Legislative District will be electing 25 delegates and 10 alternates. Together, these members will make up our "delegation."

• Current Members of the 46th Legislative District Democrats will vote for delegates.
• Current Members are/will be:
  • those who have joined or renewed their membership since November 2025.
  • 2025 members who renew their membership by Feb 15.
  • New members who join by Feb 15 (this is an exception to our 21-day waiting period). Click here to see membership options, including no fee options!
• Voting will be administered virtually by the State Party and ballots will be emailed to 46th Dems members who are eligible to vote (see above)
• Voting will be held on Sunday, March 1, opening at 10:00 am and closing at 7:00 pm.
