In a procedural surprise as Wednesday's events got under way, the convention also reinstated language from the 2008 platform describing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The party had faced criticism from Republican nominee Mitt Romney and others for omitting the Jerusalem language from a section in support of Israel.
In confusing scenes a voice vote on the language was called three times. Despies loud boos in the audience, convention chair Antonio Villaraigosa said he had determined that two-thirds of the convention had voted in favour.
