MDP Leadership to Vote on Lowering Membership Age

At it’s State Central Committee meeting this weekend in Benton Harbor, the Michigan Democratic Party will be voting on a proposed change to its bylaws that will allow 16 to 18 year old individuals to become state party members.

By doing so we hope to capitalize on the successes Democrats had in organizing and mobilizing the youth vote in 2008, and support a more inclusive view of the youth political perspective in our state party.

To commemorate this event, we hope to inaugurate a special group of twenty-five young Democrats into the Michigan Democratic Party at our meeting.

Sign up here today to have your name included in this inaugural class!
