46th LD Documents
Members of the 46th District Democrats should bookmark this page, as this is where most of the district documents they are looking for have a home. Here members will find our current Bylaws, any standing rules in effect, they will also find links to our Endorsement Rules, our Platform, and our passed, pending, and proposed Resolutions.
While we will seasonally link documents to other sub-pages on this site, this is the permanent place to locate most of the documents you may be seeking.
We survived a vendor meltdown with our website in December 2015, so documents from farther back than January 2016 must be located in our archives which are not connected to this website. Please email [email protected] with specific requests.
