The Democratic First Ward Wants YOU!
Have you ever thought about becoming a committee person? If so, right now is the perfect time to get involved!
We have an opening for committee people in Division 5, 6, 12, and 18 (See pages here for the boundaries.)
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.
Vacancy Alert
The First Ward has two Committee Person vacancies, one in each of the following divisions: 6 and 12. If you are interested in filling one of these roles, please reach out.
