The Michigan Democratic Party is free to join!

  • Your vote at local Democratic Party meetings only counts if you are a member of the MDP
  • Your membership to the MDP allows you to vote at the state convention, where the Michigan Attorney General and Secretary of State are nominated and the MDP chair is elected
  • More members to the MDP means a better chance for your local Democratic Party to attract speakers to events (who wants to speak to a crowd of 40 when you can speak to a crowd of 200?)
