There are eight voting districts in Newtown Township. There are two voting wards in Newtown Borough (different name, same thing). A voter’s district/ward determines their polling location. Each district/ward elects two Democratic Committeepeople, who serve four-year terms.

Democratic Committeepeople serve two essential roles:

1. We vote to endorse candidates, predominantly at the county and municipality levels.
2. We are the “boots on the ground” of the party within our districts/wards. We get to know our neighbors, register voters, distribute campaign literature, recruit candidates and volunteers, and answer any questions voters have about their local government and the election process.

Our club relies on volunteers beyond those with official positions. Our volunteers greet voters at the polls, go door-to-door in support of candidates, make calls, stuff envelopes, and perform numerous other tasks. They are the heart that pumps the life’s blood of our party.
