The Young Democrats of America National Convention will take place July 17–20, 2025, at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. The Indiana Young Democrats (IYD) is authorized to send at least 22 delegates—17 in person and 5 virtually—to cast its full vote at the convention. To be considered for selection, interested individuals must complete the official delegate application form by the stated deadline. Failure to submit the application will result in disqualification from being named a delegate or alternate. All delegates are required to be present and seated during general sessions; otherwise, an alternate may be seated in their place. Being selected does not guarantee financial assistance to attend, although the IYD Executive Committee may consider providing stipends if funds are available. Applicants must be current IYD members and have paid their $10 membership dues for 2025. Those unsure of their membership status should contact [email protected]. The delegate selection plan also includes diversity goals IYD strives to meet, including representation from women, communities of color, LGBTQ individuals, and people with disabilities.
