ADEM (Assembly District Election Meetings) elections are held every two years and are an opportunity for us to elect delegates -- 7 female-identified, and 7 other-than-female-identified -- from each Assembly District to the California Democratic Party's State Central Committee.
For the first time since the pandemic, ADEM elections are happening in-person, and for convenience you can also request a ballot to vote.
If you'd like to vote in the ADEM elections by mail, please register for a ballot at this link BEFORE Saturday, December 31st at 12:00pm.
You can also register to vote in-person at this link, although be mindful of when your specific ADEM elections are happening! More on that below...
These ADEM elections will be the first cycle of electing candidates post-redistricting in our new Assembly Districts: ADs 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, and 80.
