First, THANK YOU!
Being a delegate is one of the most meaningful ways to:
-
Support Blythe directly
-
Ensure ethical, transparent leadership for Indiana
-
Shape the policies and platform of the Indiana Democratic Party
-
Make sure the voices of everyday Hoosiers, not insiders, carry real power
Delegates are the ones who shape the direction of our party. You approve the platform. You vote for our statewide nominees. You represent your county and your community.
This page is here to make sure you have everything you need for the 2026 Indiana Democratic State Convention.
If you ever have questions, join me on Zoom every Sunday at 3:00 PM EST/2:00 PM CST to discuss this race, the direction we want to see Indiana go, and what to expect at Convention. I want this process to feel accessible and transparent.
Convention Basics
2026 Indiana Democratic State Convention
If you’re planning to attend the 2026 Indiana Democratic State Convention, here’s what you should know.
The Convention will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at the Indiana Marriott Downtown, located at 350 W Maryland Street in Indianapolis. It’s connected to the Convention Center, and some district meetings and caucuses may take place inside the Marriott itself.
Please note this is the Marriott, not the JW.
Delegates from all 92 counties will gather to:
-
Vote on the Democratic nominees for Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Comptroller
-
Approve the 2026 Indiana Democratic Party Platform
-
Elect members to standing committees
-
Conduct official party business
Delegates are the only individuals eligible to vote during Convention.
The Night Before: Friday Events
While the official voting takes place on Saturday, many delegates participate in activities on Friday evening as part of what’s often referred to as “Big Dem Weekend.”
This typically includes the Hoosier Hospitality Dinner and informal gatherings. While attendance at Friday events is not required, many delegates find it valuable for networking, meeting candidates, and connecting with Democrats from across the state.
If you are traveling from out of town, you may want to plan to arrive Friday evening.
Saturday Is a Full Day
Convention Day begins early and runs most of the day.
While the final schedule will be released closer to June, here is what the day generally looks like (All times in Eastern Standard Time):
-
Credentialing: 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM

Lunch is typically not provided. You are welcome to bring your own food or snacks, and there are nearby restaurants within walking distance. I am also working on fundraising to help provide food options if possible, stay tuned for updates regarding this by signing up for my Mailing list!
Timelines are of course subject to change so, as always, flexibility is helpful.
Hotel Information
There is typically a hotel block for delegates at the Marriott. That booking information is generally shared directly with credentialed delegates. Be sure to watch official communications from the Indiana Democratic Party for those details.
