Join the Sagadahoc Democrats!
The purpose of our committee is to promote the ideals, principles, and philosophy we share as Democrats. The nomination and election of candidates who advocate these ideals and principles are of utmost importance for our government to function effectively.
The committee is a coordinating organization for Democratic party activities within the county. This includes assistance to local town committees, recruiting candidates, fundraising, voter turnout campaigns.

1. County Delegate Selection Meeting
Sagadahoc County will hold a meeting next weekend to elect delegates to the Democratic nominating convention. At this point, the specific date, time, and location for our county meeting have not yet been announced. As soon as those details are finalized, we will share them immediately.
Sagadahoc County will elect 16 delegates and 2 alternates to the nominating convention. In addition, our four Democratic State Committee members will automatically serve as delegates.
The Party is asking Democrats who plan to attend the county meeting to pre-register online so that counties can better plan for attendance. Pre-registration is not required but strongly encouraged as it will help organizers find a suitable venue. If you do not pre-register, you may still register in person immediately before the meeting begins.
The deadline for online pre-registration to attend the county meeting is Thursday, July 16, at 5:00 p.m.
Democrats enrolled in the Democratic Party as of June 9, 2026 and registered to vote in Sagadahoc County at the time of the county meeting and convention may pre-register here: (NOTE: THIS IS JUST PREREGISTRATION TO ATTEND THE MEETING.)
2. Becoming a Delegate
If you would like to be considered as a delegate to the Democratic nominating convention, the most important point is this:
Any registered Democrat who was enrolled in the Democratic Party as of June 9, 2026, is eligible to seek election as a delegate, provided they are registered in Sagadahoc County at the time of the county meeting and convention.
Unlike attending the meeting, you must declare your candidacy in advance if you wish to be considered to be a delegate. Delegate nominations will not be accepted from the floor.
The deadline to submit your delegate candidacy is Wednesday, July 15, at 5:00 p.m. The Party will verify eligibility and provide counties with the official list of qualified delegate candidates before the county meeting.
To become a candidate for delegate, you must complete the online Delegate Candidate form using this link.
The delegate selection process will be identical across every county in Maine. Sagadahoc County will not be adopting its own procedures or modifying the statewide rules. The objective is to provide every Democrat with the same fair, transparent opportunity to participate while ensuring that the nomination process is legally sound.

“It is citizens — ordinary men and women, determined to forge their own future — who throughout history have sparked all the great change and progress…because as the saying goes, the most important title is no “president” or “prime minister; the most important title is “Citizen””
Barack Obama
As citizens, we hold more power than we think. We can drastically change and improve our communities and the lives of the people in them if we put our minds to it. So let’s get to work!
