FYI – Petitions to get candidates on the ballot have started surfacing.  Individuals can sign a petition for one primary candidate only per race, otherwise their signatures will be invalidated on all petitions.

As a party, NCDP cannot endorse a primary candidate unless they are running unopposed.  However, individual members are free to support whichever candidate they choose in the primary.

 Did you know?

  • 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?)
