Accreditation deadline has passed. If you have not applied for accreditation, please do let us know as soon as possible.
As we have done in the past, AP Global Media Services will accredit your team under the AP umbrella for both political conventions. We will only credential broadcasters working with the AP and we will process your accreditation directly with the House Radio and TV Gallery on Capitol Hill.

The Associated Press will provide rotational floor passes for correspondents wanting to do live reports, record stand-ups or shoot stories on the Convention floor with the delegates.
