From Broad Street to the Delaware River, from Wharton Street to Mifflin Street, it’s up to us to elect leaders who will fight for our people and our communities, putting our needs first over the profits of wealthy donors and big corporations.

    As voters in the biggest city in one of the most important swing states in the country, we have an important role to play in determining the outcome of every election. If you have any questions or if you would like to get more involved, we would love to talk to you! Please sign up for our email list and follow @phillyfirstward on social media.

What is a ward?

Philadelphia is divided into 66 wards, each of which is divided into from 11 to 51 voting divisions – 1,686 in all. Two Democratic committee people in each division are elected directly by Democratic voters there. Together, the Democratic committee people elected in the ward make up the ward "executive committee," and select the ward leader and other officers. The core responsibility of wards is to turn out voters and make sure politicians are serving ward residents.
