Register for ADEMs!

In January, California Democrats can vote in the Assembly District Election Meetings (ADEMs) for delegates to the California Democratic Party (CDP).

What is ADEMs?

ADEMS stands for Assembly Delegates. Assembly Delegates heavily influence the Democratic Party's endorsements for state and federal offices. They also have the opportunity to join CDP committees and influence the CDP political and policy agendas. 

Why is it important to participate in the voting for Assembly Delegates?

It’s important that we vote for Assembly Delegates who will represent us on issues we care about and will push the CDP to follow through with their policy initiatives. 

Key Dates:

We encourage all Democrats to register for a mail ballot by December 31. Voters will receive their ballots in January, and they must return ballots by January 31.

Vote by Mail

If you like the experience of voting in person, to register for in person voting must happen by January 22nd.
