I believe this is answered. As such, I have turned off the “Allow Comments” checkbox to see what happens to the interface.
According to the Massachusetts Democratic Party Website, Failure to pay your delegate fee by April 11th will result in a late fee of $75$25, however, the vote to determine which appications for Add-On Delegates will be accepted is not scheduled until the State Committee Meeting on April 12th, who then still need to notify the add-on delegates of their acceptance, which will then be a week to two weeks after the April 11th deadline.
So my question is: Will the add-on delegates be granted a different deadline than the regular delegates or will the late fee be waived, or is it the expectation that all add-on delegates will automatically miss the deadline and be obligated to pay the late fee?
1) Since there are members of the State Committee who post here regularly, and
2) Since I am not the only person who filed an application to be an add-on delegate,
3) I am understandably curious.

I don’t remember off the top of my head what it is, but there will be a separate deadline for add-ons to pay their fee. Plus, as with elected delegates, add-ons should not hesitate to apply for a fee waiver if they feel the fee is prohibitive. The state party does not want anybody to skip the convention just because they can’t pay.
