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 three Committee Person vacancies, one in each of the following divisions: 4, 5, and 18. If you are interested in filling one of these roles, please reach out.
