The Alabama Democratic Party has updated its qualifying period for delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

Delegate qualifying will open on October 16, 2023, at 9 a.m. CDT.  

Individuals interested in serving as a delegate to the 2024 DNC Convention may submit a Declaration of Candidacy and pay the appropriate qualifying fees at the ADP Headquarters (501 Adams Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36104) or online at www.aldemocrats.org.  

Qualifying will close on Friday, November 10, 2023, at 5 p.m. CST, 116 days before the primary election, as required by Alabama Code § 17-13-5(a).

“It’s very exciting time for Democrats because we’re getting a new Congressional District.  After discussions with Chair Randy Kelley, we want to ensure that our delegate selection abides by DNC rules and regulations.  Delegates are apportioned by congressional districts; therefore, we decided to hold off on opening our delegate selection until we have a firm idea of what this new and competitive seat is to look like,” said Tom Miro, Executive Director of the Alabama Democratic Party.
