Good morning Young Democrats:
Our internet vote is open now! Pursuant with CYD Bylaws, the CYD State Leadership Committee is now conducting an internet vote to consider CYD endorsements for California Democratic Party (CADEM) Statewide Officers and Regional Directors.
This internet vote is open now, April 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM and will close Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
Per CYD Bylaws, eligible voters are: all CYD Statewide Officers and CYD Regional Directors; CYD’s Immediate Past-State President; the President of each duly chartered chapter; the CCD President; the CASHD President; any officer of YDA, CDA, or HSDA residing in California who is a member of a chartered CYD chapter; any DNC Member who is a member of a chartered CYD chapter, any elected CDP Officer who is a member of a chartered CYD chapter; and the Chair of each duly chartered CYD Standing or Special Caucus.
Per recent bylaw amendments, chartered CYD Chapter Presidents and Caucus Chairs, or their duly appointed officer, only need to vote once in internet votes to cast their two Leadership Committee votes and no longer appoint a second voter. If the Chapter President or Caucus Chair wishes to appoint another officer to cast their organization’s votes, they must email CYD Secretary Emily Bonner at [email protected].
Please contact your Chapter President, Caucus Chair, CYD Political Director Maiya De La Rosa, or your CYD Regional Director if you have questions regarding any of the items being considered.
If 25% or more eligible voters vote to "Postpone" any item or write-in a recommended race/name/position to "Postpone" consideration of, that item shall not be considered until the next in person meeting.
All endorsement votes require a 2/3rds majority approval vote of those present and voting.
All eligible voters (only members of the CYD State Leadership Committee, as described above) can VOTE HERE.
