A Moment That Matters - Please Note If You Are Gathering Signatures
As we approach the April 17 deadline for signatures, Maine Democrats have an important opportunity to shape both the direction and leadership of the party through the petition process for the upcoming Maine Democratic State Convention. Any registered Democrat may propose amendments to the party’s platform or charter—or seek a seat on the State Committee—by submitting an online petition and gathering signatures from State Delegates and Alternates. Platform and charter amendments each require at least 25 signatures, while State Committee candidates must collect a minimum of 10 signatures from within their county. This process offers a meaningful way to contribute ideas, influence party governance, and elevate new leadership.
The convention will also include nominations for several longstanding awards recognizing exceptional contributions to public service, activism, and grassroots organizing—an opportunity to honor those who have helped sustain and strengthen the party’s work across Maine.
