Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’re still demonstrating our political power and discontent through thousands of votes for Uncommitted options nationwide. This allows our pro-ceasefire voices to be heard 1) by Haaris as she weighs impacts on her election campaign, and 2) in the Democratic Party process. There are 8 other states apart from Washington that give voters the option to support uncommitted delegates, and that support would prompt a potential reassessment of the Biden administration’s financing and backing of Israel’s war on Gaza.

  • State delegates: Anyone who is willing to publicly identify as a Democrat, and lives in the Legislative District in which they filed.

    National delegates: Anyone registered to vote (so must be a U.S. citizen), who lives in the Congressional District in which they filed, is willing to publicly identify as a Democrat, and is at least 18 years old by Nov 5, 2024 (and, if so, is pre-registered to vote).

  • There are 2 types of delegates: State and National/Congressional (and each has a different application process).

    The State delegates elect the Congressional delegates who go to the Democratic National Convention. But beyond that, delegates essentially pass resolutions and policies that determine the Dems’ State Party and/or National Party platform and Presidential Nominee.

  • March 31, 5pm: Deadline for state delegate applications

    April 6: Virtual election for State Delegates (voted on by registered LD Democrats)

    June 9: Virtual Election for At-Large national delegates (voted on by the Washington State Democratic Central Committee, or WSDCC)

    June 21-23: State Democratic Convention (where those elected as LD delegates get to argue about the State Party’s platform together)

    August 19-22: Democratic National Convention (where those elected as congressional/national delegates get to argue about the Party’s platform and the Presidential Nominee together)

  • You can verify your Congressional and Legislative Districts here–which we recommend, because redistricting just happened.

  • We secured almost 90,000 Uncommitted Delegate votes in Washington State!! Unfortunately, precinct-level data is still getting figured out so we can only guesstimate that we’ve received 2 Uncommitted Congressional/National Delegates thus far. Right now, only the State Party has this information for only King County.

  • We are well aware that Trump is not our friend.. This vote is not about Republicans. It is about sending a message to the President and the leaders of the Democratic Party that 80% of Democrats support an immediate, permanent ceasefire. This is about bringing the Democratic Party in line with the politics of Americans everywhere who support a ceasefire.

  • We are a multiracial, multifaith anti-war campaign here in Washington State, formed to make it known to any candidate that we are UNCOMMITTED to any administration’s funding of war and genocide in Gaza.

  • Yes. A ceasefire is a negotiated end to violence between all parties and to release Palestinians held by Israel and Israelis held in Gaza.

  • It will be difficult for Vice President Harris to earn back our trust after being part of an administration financing a war and famine in Gaza. Funding to Israeli government’s atrocities against the Palestinian people MUST stop.

    Any candidate is not representing the vast majority of Democrats who want a ceasefire and an end to our government's unconditional weapons funding of the Israeli military. 

    A pro-war stance is also not representing the millions of Muslims, people of color and young people who voted in record numbers to put the Biden administration in office but who are now out in the streets protesting his policies.

  • In 2008, Obama did not make the ballot in the Michigan primaries but his campaign mobilized young and Black voters to vote “uncommitted” as a symbolic (and real) way to have their voices heard. This sent a message about Obama’s popularity among Democratic voters to the Party’s establishment.
