Candidates must be present at the caucus and must complete an online
'consent to nomination' form. Youth, minorities, people with

or Alternate may apply to be an Add-on Delegate at the caucus or by

This
year’s Democratic State Platform Convention is scheduled for Saturday, September
25, 2021 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, where Democrats from across
the state will come together for the purpose of adopting a Party
platform. The last platform convention was in 2017 and we have faced
many challenges and changes since then. The event will follow federal,
state and local health guidelines and will also include a virtual option
for participation.
