Apply to be an Add-On Delegate
If you are not elected to be a delegate at your local caucus, there are a limited number of add-on seats available to ensure a Convention representative of all Massachusetts Democrats, with preferences given to those who attended their caucus but were not elected or whose community did not host a caucus.
Apply for the BluePrint Program
If you are a student ages 17-22, in addition to seeking a delegate position you should also apply to BluePrint, the Massachusetts Democratic Party's 2026 Youth Leadership Institute.
Where Can I Find More Information?
YDMA has prepared a self-guided "Convention 101" training on BreakThru and is hosting a live Zoom training on Wednesday, March 4th at 7:00 PM to answer any questions you may have.
