For Demorcats ready to jump into the front lines of political action on a local level, the Douglas County Democratic Committee has a role.
Under Article III of the Douglas County Democratic Committee Bylaws, we are hereby calling for nominations to fill vacant seats on the committee.
Committee seats (formerly post seat holder seats) are apportioned by county commission district. Those interested can find their county commission district through the My Voter Page (MVP) on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/
There are currently four committee seat vacancies:
- District 1 (elected in gubernatorial election years)
- District 2 (elected in presidential election years)
- District 4 (elected in presidential election years)
- At-large (countywide, elected in presidential election years)
Per Article III of the Douglas County Democratic Committee bylaws:
ARTICLE III
Membership, Committee Districts, and Election of Members
3.1 Any person age 18 and older who resides in and is registered to vote in Douglas County, Georgia, and who shall declare themselves to be a member of the Democratic Party, shall be entitled to membership in the DCDC.
3.2 Any member of the DCDC, who is registered to vote in the County for at least one year, is eligible to be elected to the County Committee.
3.3 DCDC shall consist of four (4) districts in relation to the Commission Districts of Douglas County. Each County Commission District will be allocated six (6) elected members, numbered one (1) through six (6). Except for at-large voting members, all members of DCDC — whether elected or otherwise appointed — must reside in the applicable designated county commission district. The DCDC will have two (2) voting members-at-large, who may reside anywhere in the county and serve a four- (4-) year term. These members-at-large are voting members and count toward a quorum.
3.4 DCDC members are to be elected by the Party District Caucus.
3.5 Public notice of the election must be given by publishing the same in at least three of these venues: newspaper; public organ of general circulation; social media; broadcast media (radio or television); community website; or email to past and present members in Douglas County at least two (2) weeks preceding the election.
3.6 Only DCDC members who reside in a particular county commission district and meet all other criteria may nominate or vote for a member from that district.
3.7 The DCDC Chair shall appoint chairs of party district caucuses.
3.8 Half of the district committee posts (odd numbered) shall be elected in gubernatorial election years and half (even numbered) shall be elected in presidential election years. Election to any role in the DCDC will be by public ballot, either using a tally of a show of hands, publicly signed and read paper ballots or electronic resources such as Election Buddy.
Those interested can send their full name (as it appears on their voter registration), address, phone number and a current curriculum vitae (CV)/resume to chair@dcdems.org. Please put “Committee Nomination” in the subject line and include your county commission district in the email.
Nominations must be received by Friday, May 17. Elections will be held during the committee’s general meeting Saturday, June 13 at St. Julian’s Episcopal Church in Douglasville.
Current elected officials are prohibited from serving on the committee. Committee members will be expected to be active in outreach, fundraising, voter education, candidate recruitment, attend monthly committee meetings and other essential activities.
Our party — and our movement — continues to grow. Here’s your chance to join the front lines of defending democracy in Douglas County!
