VOTE FOR OUR DELEGATE CANDIDATES AT THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICT ELECTION MEETING (ADEMS)
What are the ADEMS elections?
Assembly District Election Meetings (ADEMS) elections are the process by which 14 delegates to the California Democratic Party (CDP) are selected to represent each Assembly District by election in January of odd numbered years.
Seven (7) "self-identified female” and Seven (7) “other than self-identified female” candidates are elected as delegates to represent the Assembly District they are registered in.
Delegates’ term begins at the Spring 2025 Convention and ends in early 2027. These delegates, among other party responsibilities, will have a vote in the CDP endorsement process for the 2026 cycle for statewide, congressional and state legislative elections.

Who are the E-Board Representatives, and what do they do?
An Executive Board Representative attends additional meetings, such the quarterly Executive Board meetings. Unlike past years, there will not be a separate vote for the Assembly District Executive Board Representative, as it will be determined by the highest vote getter of the candidates who also ran for Executive Board.
